C3 Value from Corvette Magazine
Does anybody have a scan of the latest C3 values? In CT, we pay tax on cars once a year and I just got my tax bill. They assessed my '72 SB coupe at $26K! I am thinking of going down to Town Hall tomorrow w/ the keys and offer the tax assessor the car for $21K and tell him he can make an easy $5K by reselling it. On the flip side, our 2007 Honda Odessey Touring assessed at only $23K (with a sticker price of $38K last August)! Oh well, at least our real estate taxes are low.

Hi, I'm in Sherman, CT and the reason I decided to go with Antique plates is that the maximum assesed value they can tax your car for is $500.00. I just got my pers.prop tax bill and its for $8.20 for the year, of course our mill rate is only 16.40, I'm sure its much higher in Greenwhich

Well, my yearly property tax is only $4,700, so it is hard to complain too much. Just feel like I am giving the town an extra $100 that could be used to fill my car w/ half a tank of gas.

I'm over $15k/yr in Wisconsin! We don't have the personal property tax on vehicles, but since Doyle has been in office we've seen our tag fees go through the roof. I pay about $400 for all my vehicles combined. It's ridiculous.

Stop complaining, Registration and compulsory third party is about $575 per vehicle down here then you have to insure the car on top. I have both my cars 68 Vette, and 68 Bonneville fully insured (limited use) and it costs me $825 on top of the 2 x $575 before I put gas in them at $1.75 litre.($6.65 US gallon) Europe is even worse.
We do have a "club permit scheme" which costs under $100 a year but we are only allowed to use the cars on events listed in the club newsletter and then we still have to insure.
