This is supposed to be SALES TAX not WHAT THE STATE THINKS YOU SHOULD PAY TAX.

There's a definite flaw in this logic as used cars are just that. Meaning you could get several thousands off depending on condition. If the brakes/clutch/transmission are bad for example. Too many variables imo to just tack on a perceived value with little to no info other than car make/model/year...

Just get them in touch with your insurance company adjuster when the worst happens.

just spent a month going around on the appropriate price of an audi a4.

That's why I only do all my clothes shopping once a year in Minnesota at the Mall of America. No sales tax on clothes or shoes. I just need to find a state with no tax on cars.

haha.

In my state, they wanted a proof of purchase in addition to a dealer quoted letter where I would have to bring my car to a dealer to have them assess the value of it.

Proof of purchase is no biggie but the latter is rediculous imo.
