    Believe me, i tried going new, but for a new they make it harder to get financing. when I inquired they wanted $30k down which i did not have.

    no FET. in Illinois we use what is called rolling stock option for business investing in equipment and are classified as tax exempt.

    yeah but there are other issues i can use that warranty to cover. i'll wait until the warranty expires then i'll flush that system out.

    Not sure how old that link is but you are right. It isn’t very well written
    I think the 2nd paragraph says over 26k??

    I know I had fet on mine when I bought it but as someone posted. I think this varies by State??

    I tag my trailer in Maine therefore I didn’t have to pay sales tax as long as I don’t live in Maine
    And I plate my Truck in Mn for the same reason and I think that’s not charged because I don’t live there as well?

    I also think the prices posted on like truck paper you see may already have the tax added so maybe you never even really know it’s there?
