RE: Tag prices

["Mike Miller (Volt) (Exchange)" <a-mikemi@Exchange.MICROSOFT.com>]

The big deal here in Wa state is that we have no personal property tax
so they tack on an "excise" tax on your license tabs based on the list
price of the vehicle multiplied by a "depreciation factor" based upon
age and then add 2.3% of that value on to the basic tab price of about
$25. Example: for the 91 200Q list was $42,400. The multiplier for a 5
yr old car is .65 so 42,400 x .65 x .023 = ~$633 for the excise tax
portion of the tab price. I wish the car had retained 65% of its
original value, but then its an Audi not an MB, BMW or Acura.
