I paid $1,200 for a '49 FFPW that needed a total restoration. Replaced cab, bed, axles, engine etc.. Went to the Mass DMV to get a title in my name. They use the NADA value for the truck which is about $17K regardless of the condition.
Sales tax would be almost $1,100 for a truck I paid $1,200 for. Plus the $75 title fee.
I feel used and dirty after leaving the DMV.
Less than one mile north is NH which has no sales tax at all.
