As I recall, the tax on out of state purchases is called use tax but at the same rate. On new cars, the sales tax is calculated after the trade-in allowance is deducted. So, when my C320 is traded later this year, I could save perhaps $1600 in tax. RLE Nothing quite like being taxed twice for the same thing. In the vast majority of states fuel taxes aren't committed to roads but instead the general funds trough at which our duly elected representatives feed. There are a few exceptions where fuel taxes must be used for transportation use- Tennessee is one that comes to mind. Driving into TN from Virginia on I-81 one finds dramatically better roads. Unfortunately, my state (or, ahem , Commonwealth) of Pennsylvania is not one of those states that earmark fuel taxes for transportation. While PA has lost the title of Worst Roads in the US , we're still second worst. There's always next year... Tony Wirtel
