2013, 2800 miles on it when I picked it up over Memorial Day Weekend. Found it at Estero Bay Chevrolet, which happened to be 30 minutes north of where my dad lives.

Looks like the exhaust is too quiet
Nice choice, but how come another ZR1?
sharp looking car
There are several factors that went into my decision. First, I couldn't pass up the deal. I got it for $75.5 at an interest rate of 2.39%. Another factor was the Virginia personal property tax. We are taxed on cars, boats, ATVs, etc. When I spoke with the tax office, I was told that a new $130,000 Viper would cost me $5,000 in taxes per year. That's still a hefty amount even when factoring in depreciation per year. My insurance also doubled. The taxes on the ZR1 are significantly lower, and my insurance only increased $95/month. Last, it comes down to me being cheap I guess. In the end I didn't want to touch any principal and take a hit in the stock market to buy a Viper. I'm young, and there will be many more cars. Right now my focus is to grow grow grow the fund.
nice! :drivin:
Are the ZR1s his and hers? ;)
I'm going to take a stab at this......I'm guessing since he said he bought north of where his dad lives and those garages are different that the grey one is his dad's. That would be my guess.
Finally something intelligent from you
Wow, note to self don't move to Virginia. Can't believe they actually get away with taxing all your cars/toys yearly. What a effing scam. I don't even like paying sales tax again when buying stuff. Which is why in WI I prefer to do trades. They charge 0 tax when no money changes hands and the only fee to pay yearly or every other year is registration.
I pay annually $9.50 for my TA, $18.90 for my son's Grand Prix, and for the Durango $29.50. That is for both tags and what they call it some type of value tax.
If I buy new it's like around 3.x% of the sale price, one time.
It's a crime. The roads aren't even nice here.
Congrats.

they do but they only pay 1 person in the family so that means 1 person in the entire state gets the money because they're all related.Quote:

Asked how can I fight this. The woman all but laughed at me and told me that I couldn't fight it once they start taking the money it's all done. Told her I never received a notice. She said they sent a certified letter to the address I was living at during that time in 2010. Oh but no record of it ever being delivered. Plus I didn't live at that address. Anyways when I looked into it I found out it was cheaper to just pay it then fight the system. There are so many fees involved in fighting the state I would end up paying more. It's a fucking racket and the state has the upper hand and they know it. Even consulted lawyers and they told me this system heavily favored the state and just to pay the 200 plus late fee.Quote:

Some states charge you on fair market value regardless of property condition instead of a rate based off of what you paid etc. He just looked at his papers and said "so is that a yes or no?" I just laughed.
ZR JUAN for the plates.
lol hopefully you're Hispanic. Would fit perfectly
I would have gone with ZR JOSE myself, but ZR JUAN isn't bad either. :D
