Unlessthe times have changed inVermont - and things change slowly there -
you will have to pay Vermont tax on your Vanagon when you register a
vehicle brought in from another state.  If memory serves me correctly, you
pay tax based on the book value of the vehicle.  I don't know whose "book"
the VT DMV uses, but when I registered a '82 Rabbit Diesel & a '88 Fox
there back in '89, I was slammed with close to $1500 in fees!

Subject:  should i register before i sell?

hello, all,
i've been watching the messages on registering vanagons in your
respective states, and i think vermont registration costs is comparable
to many of yours. my question is: should i register the car in vermont
before i sell it? it's still registered in north carolina; in fact, i
just got it inspected there a month ago. i live close to the nh and mass
state lines and i wouldn't be surprised if i sold my van to someone
outside vt., which means they'd have to re-register...
thanks,
susan
