Hello all,
I am currently in the market for a 98-02 SS, and I am trying to figure out the taxes the car will have. I plan to call tomorrow, but I was curious if anyone has dealt with this recently. The DMV website is slightly confusing, but here is a link to it. http://www.tennessee.gov/revenue/tnt...alesanduse.htm
I am just curious as to how much I will have to spend for tax, title, and registration. (I will most likely be buying the car out of state). Thanks alot.

When I asked what she meant, she asked if I wanted to pay the TN taxes or the AL taxes. I asked what the difference was and it was 9%-2%. Maybe Im worng though.
