so i go today to pay my share to keep texas bootiful :moontax, title license). now days they dont charge tax based on sale price. now it's based on "value". well guess what they say my 21 year old jeep is worth.
$6450.00 :flamemad::flamemad: $400 in tax! Plus late fees and $100 for tags.
so the nice lady tells me i can have it appraised and pay tax on that so long as it is on the state approved form. so after spending an hour on the phone with every appraiser in town, the last one is "state licensed". he says he would be happy to help me.......for $200. says the jeep cant be worth more than $1500 on the high side. so i save money on tax, but i'm just paying him the difference.
then she tells me the tags expired in 2002. what? the tag on the windshield says 4/10. so i get home and look at it. the number in the top left corner doesn't match license plate! call a cop friend and he runs it. it is to a car the po owns, but not the jeep. then he tells me to get that sticker off there cause cops could take you in on that charge if you get stopped.:flamemad::flamemad:
so now it looks like the jeep is gonna be sittin in the drive way for a little while.
thanks for listening to my rant. im a little upset to say the least.:smsoap::smsoap::smsoap:
