Adding it up...

2005 Nissan Sentra ............... $13,000

Check Engine light that
comes on during dealer
test-drive of trade-in .............. $250

Extra sales-tax paid when
Massachusetts refuses to
recognize dealer as
legitimate, simply because
they’re from NY ..................... $300

Extra interest paid on
loan when NY bank refuses
to approve loan because you
LIVE in Massachusetts ............. $1,440

Cost of cellphone “overage
minutes” used talking to
dealers, insurance companies,
and banks while scrambling
to get new loan in less
than 48 hours ........................ $75

Knowing you’re almost done
with the insanity that is
buying a car out of state
when you're currently
living in the commonwealth ..... Priceless.

If you move back to NY, does MA have to give back your money?

Sounds like a fair request to me... somehow though, I have a feeling Mass would argue that claim...

Don't forget the cost of extra tolls when you drive past the exit for the insurance agent on the Pike and have to loop around again.

...oops :)

I'm a good driver.
