Every vehicle I have bought has needed work.

So, if you can show that it needing work lowers the car's value, then the taxes will be less?

If it needs work it does lower the value… most cars you buy need tires at the very least. If you live in washington fight for every penny when it comes to being taxed ! We have fees and taxes on everything and washington is probably the sneakiest state in the union in regards to fees and taxes.

The state makes a fortune off of taxing cars …its criminal taxing used vehicles when they already taxed the sale of it when new. The state makes more off vehicles than car dealers!

Think an oil change & transmission check can get rolled into that?

Any cost you get a quote for and/or have receipts for help, but big money 💰 quotes is what your really looking for or its not worth your time.

Tires and wheels from les Schwab I wanted Toyo tires was like $2800 bucks. A paint job is like $3000- $6000 or more. Both quotes are easy to get. Brand new cars come with crappy tires so if your buying a used car you almost always need tires.

Good luck !
