Nothing has $10k on the hood around me.

Shame Cali charges 10% sales tax even on purchases registered out of state.

I’d pick one up when I’m in San Diaaaaaago in 2 weeks and drive it home.

My wife is flying back to CA next week to visit family. Her sister popped out twin and she's obligated to go see them. I got out of it by claiming "no vacation time"...my wife has half of next week off from work and I don't.

She's going to Huntington Beach, which is where Max shared those epic s. I thought briefly about going out there and buying a to drive back, but I'm not flushing 10% sales tax down the drain. No way.

That's wild that you still pay it if registering out of state. Too bad, that would be a fun adventure/sweet

Our vehicle sales tax is 3% here so it's a much less significant issues. They make their money on annual rape fees here.

What's the cost for registration?

We're at $2-300/year for a newer vehicle. Plus 6% sales tax. Highest insurance rates in the country and garbage roads. Michigan blows.

It jumps up quick if you have anything at all on your record though. I was paying $250/month for years on the GTI

No income tax in TN has serious appeal.

About $400/year on a $20K car, up or down from there based on vehicle value.

Both are good, NC has a coast and better weather (a little bit). If you don't care about coast, TN will likely be cheaper. I prefer NC, but don't tell other people that, we're experience pretty aggressive growth as-is and I bet it will be more CA like in the next 20 years... prices on everything have gone up significantly.

This is what I'm afraid of. The rapid growth might even put Raleigh in the unaffordable range for me as early as next year especially as single income

Eh, I mean, you can certainly still leave cheap as hell here if you want to. Raleigh is also less than Charlotte. Our apartment two miles outside of the center of town in a cool-ish neighborhood is $1400 for a one bedroom, but you can find cheap places if you don't have to appease with . If you're willing to be far out it's very cheap. You can still find cheap beer at some bars and relatively affordable restaurants and stuff, but you have to work harder for it. 93 octane is about $3/gallon. there are places that are much worse. Home prices have shot up a ton though.

In 2012 when I first moved back here, I had a nice apartment (old but I liked it) walking distance to a bunch of bars for $600/month. The same place now would be like $1200-1400. SImilarly, houses that were $120K then are now $300K.

My goal was to buy a place because I think if I started renting I'd never be able to afford to buy.
