"I made purchase the an Oldsmobile car today. With the enticement of a ridiculous 45% off MSRP ($12.4 off $23K MSRP plus $1.2 in sales tax,"

I am curious about the "deal" you describe - you are obviously leaving part of the details out of the story. I am familiar enough with the car business to know that there is no where near that much markup in a car, including all rebates, holdbacks, and everything else. What year model was the car, and how much damage did the wreck cause <gg>.

Please explain a bit more, please.

Since sales tax is still due on value of car before rebates, tax ran 10% of take home cost of vehicle

Recently I purchased a vehicle here in TX and the sales tax was after the rebate. I asked about it and the dealership said it was correct. I wonder if your state tax is different. Congrats on the great deal.

p.s. how much in rebates and what kind of car.
