Default Luxury Tax ?

Hey Guys ,
I'm New to these forums i'm coming From the Acurazine Forums . But i'm thinking about picking up a 2001 Or 2003 Lexus is300 , And the only thing that i'm worried about is this Whole " Luxury Tax " . I just want to know how much you guys are paying for the Tax , Or if your not paying it at all . .
But , Yeah your comments will be much appreciated .

Thanks much ,

Luxury tax is only applied when you buy a car brand new, same with the gas guzzler tax on some cars and trucks. The only taxes you have to worry about is the normal state taxes based on the year of the car and value.

2002GGPIS3 was right. I just bought the 03 IS300, and all i had to pay was only state tax base on the price that I purchased. So will be the same to you.
