What is the cheapest state to buy a car?
The price of the car depends on its condition and age, not the state where you buy it.
I heard that the price of a car can vary based on where you live.
The price of a car is affected by the sales tax rate. Some places like Texas charge you
sales tax on the car purchase in addition to title and licensing fees.
That hits 10% of the purchase price, doesn't it?
But it is worth it to some people. For example, a lot of Oklahomans buy cars in Texas and
register them there because the sales tax one time is cheaper than the thousand dollars
a year to register the car in their state.
In the case of sales tax, it might be cheaper to shop in a county with a lower tax rate.
And shop the outer edges of a metro area. They'll have lower real estate and overhead
costs, so their cars cost less.
A two hour drive isn't worth it.
It is if you can save a few thousand dollars on a vehicle.
*Where is it cheapest to buy a car in the entire country?
Miami tops that list, but you risk buying a car that was flooded in one of the hurricanes.
I heard that you can get a car really cheap in Detroit.
You can also buy a house for a thousand dollars. In some cases, you can get a house cheaper
than a running used car.
I've read that Ohio has a lot of cheap used cars.
Ohio is deep in the heart of the rust belt. Lots of unemployed people selling rarely driven
cars to pay their rent.
I heard that cars in New York are cheaper than average.
The cars are cheap, but the gas is a killer and the parking space costs more than the
car.
