Are you asleep? The backers of this bill and the majority in the legislature are Republicans. They are the same clowns that wanted to begin taxing groceries again.

But hey, I will exploit this bill to the fullest!

Well… another chance for the GOVERMENT to be FAIR & BALANCED!… Thanks for punishing those who work hard and pay for their insurance (which is too high in Georgia) and their car payments… I own a motorhome and pay an a hugh amount of taxes on it… It never leaves my driveway.. Too busy paying TAXES to get to go anywhere~!…

Goverment has got to stop TAXING us to death…! Where does this maddness end… Maybe in 2112 when a REPUBLICIAN can try to take a mop and clean up this TAX and SPENDING mess!

We have ordered a special edition Lamborghini that will arrive in Jan 2010. The price is expected to be around $400,000. Let me get this correct, so under this new bill we will only have to pay $2000? That is 0.5% with no ad valorem tax ever! Looks like Georgia will become the new Dubai. We love Georgia and Sonny too.

Well, I was looking forward to losing the d@mned ad valorum tax, but the details of this “thing” are enough to make me wish those chuckleheads under the gold dome had stayed in bed with their strumpets and forgotten to do us all a favor. Thanks for nothing!

This must be the stupidest piece of legislation ever dreamed up by a human being, or is this just more monkey business? I guess having a job under the gold dome must require a very low IQ at this time.

Let’s think about this. As it is now, if you buy a car for $10,000 & get $5,000 for your trade in, you owe tax on $5,000. Will you owe tax on $10,000 the new way?

Fellow overtaxed citizens of Georgia; we can thank another lobbyist group for this new tax. As you know or should know, many bills that passed this session were motivated by corrupt lobbying groups.

The group behind the title tax is no other than the Georgia auto dealers association. The dealer association felt the dealers were at an economic disadvantage because you and I could sell each other a car with no sales tax and the dealers had to collect sales tax on used vehicles.

The problem with the flawed justification of this bill is that dealer gets their bill passed and we the tax payer get gouged with another tax. Way to go – elected official. Thanks again for representing the people.

Yep, I have an 11 year old car… was thinking about getting a new one this year, maybe even do my part to help out the economy.. but I am going to try everything to keep it going until next year.. sounds like in the long run, I will save money.. Too bad for the car industry.
