Still, it's a lot of $$$$
Try this sometime - Say you own your car for 5 years. Add the sales tax paid* when you bought the car with the personal property tax you pay each year the car is owned (it will decrease slightly each year). Then add in the registration fees over the five years. Take that total and divide it by the amount you paid for the car without tax.
Sit down before you look at the percentage! Compare that percentage to any of our surrounding states (or anywhere else)!
* Don't discount the tax for any trade in. Typically you don't gain on the trade vs selling it yourself. You get less for the trade or you pay more for the new one. You just save the aggravation of selling the car yourself.

The S4 was a 2008. Rated at 12/20 I think it was? My average was around 15, right around the time of $5 gas. I'll probably end up with a newer S4 at some point. Love the new supercharged motor.

You're probably better off buying real estate in Florida and registering there or going with the Montana LLC loophole.

May as well add an insurance comment. Hartford CT is/was the "Insurance Capitol of the World". However that designation didn't really make the best rates for CT:

Taxes, taxes, taxes. One of the many reasons I just left NY and ended up in NC, at least for now.
Saved, 14,000 in property taxes, house alone. They do tax your car down here @ 1% , but I think they undervalue them. The tax bite on our 3 cars was much less than I thought, and it goes way down after the first registration here.
My insurance went down $1,000 a year for 3 cars.
NC taxes food, unlike NY, but at a rate lower than the regular 6.75% sales tax. Gas is +- $2 locally at Costco.
Never heard NYer's talk positively about their taxes before, I sure didn't. Property taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes, ridiculous.
Oh, it was 67 and sunny yesterday, 70 today.
Good pizza is hard to find admittedly.
