Thanks for the replies.

So basically, if I buy a $20K Boxster, then I'd have to pay another $1700 of this "use tax" to the DMV?

jmabasa, so you did not have to pay any tax at all when you registered the car under your name? Are you in CA?

kelly1005, how much is "very little"? So you did not pay the 8%+ tax?

My budget for the car is about $22k, if I'm gonna have to pay some kind of tax at about 8%, then that leaves $20k for the car. If there is no tax, the entire $22k can be alotted to the car alone.
