Taxes were outrageous at $800 per year. We bought it in somewhat of a rush a year and a half ago and have never really fallen in love with it. So my wife asked that we start looking for something else with lower miles. After she drove a Flex, she was hooked, but I insisted on certain colors. This combo was one and with the miles and price, plus being a CPO, it was a no brainer. Will post pics soon.

Yep, every year we pay a tax and registration fee to own a vehicle that we already paid sales tax on.

Correct. Yea Kansas. And if you buy a vehicle in a different county than you live you pay the sales tax of that county at purchase . When you take the vehicle home and register it and your county has a higher sales tax you pay the difference.
