Replying to: euphonium (Jun 29, 2009 8:18 am) 7.25% State of Illinois 1.25% City of Chicago 0.75% Cook County (good luck trying to find info about this online) In addition to the tax, Crook County - no, that's not a typo - charges a flat $15 fee for new car purchases. My salesman said it's been the same amount for nearly 20 years, so somehow the county schemers have overlooked an update. Lastly, those of us in Chicago also pay an annual $120 "city sticker" fee. I know there are stickers for the other towns/villages in the county and a county sticker for those in unincorporated areas, but I don't know specific dollar amounts. When you take into consideration the high cost of gas in the city (now at $3 and above) relative to the surrounding "collar" counties and the absolutely crazy new rates for parking meters and garages, it's no wonder I went without a car for nearly 10 years. But leaving the dealership today, I was definitely enjoying that "new car" smell.

That didn't make sense to me but it is what I did. Saved me some cash too.

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 14, 2009 10:01 am) Whe a WA resident buys in King County, the % is 9.9% & that is what the buyer pays no matter where else he might reside. Thus, when you live in a lower tax county, purchasing in OR can be more economical than King county.
