When I was in the military I got pulled over in Tennessee with a WRX that was purchased in Nebraska, registered in Kansas, and had a Texas drivers license.

*Sees a Pontiac Aztek with Montana plates* “must be a rich guy”

[jacobschaack]

[finesupplements]

*Answer:* No Sales tax and physical inspection required. Your welcome.

So if you wanna look rich get it registered in California

Man I feel that in America is much is easier to be a car guy, I live in Europe and there are so many regulations, it costs a lot to have a car and you are not allowed to modify it. This sucks.

I see all these comments saying, "nothing seems rich about avoiding taxes" but the reason why they are rich is because they know the systems like this guy explained for multiple things, like houses, businesses etc...

Me: *sees Prius with Montana plate*





"Oh that's just a rich guy"

[shagy]

Other reason is some states require only the rear license plate.

[daithi]

Me: Ok so if I even can afford a sport car I’ll buy it in Montana
Also me: I don’t even live in the us

"What does a rich person use the extra 315, 000 on?"
Jee idk maybe they can put it towards the insurance on that same car :)

South Carolina is also great too because even if you pay for a Bugatti, the most sales tax the DMV can charge you is 10% up to $300, so if you bought a 3 million dollar car you only have to pay $300 maximum, and there is no emissions testing. The only thing you have to worry about is Insurance, which in this state is relatively cheap.

Edit: Reading the comments, South Carolina also doesn't require a front plate, just rear plates. Also no state inspection

Another more practical reason for registering your plates in Montana is after 10 years, you can get permanent tags. So you will never have to go through emission or plate renewal again, as long as you own the car.

Imagine buying a car, giving the government money because you wanted the car, then having to give the government more money yearly for a sticker to drive the car you already gave them money to own, on roads you already paid for.

Oh, and don't forget the money you have to give them every year or two just so that YOU are allowed behind the wheel of the car you gave money to buy, money to drive yearly, and money for the roads you're on.

Always buy ebooks and digital purchases as a Montana address. Save 7%

Everything is illegal in California lol

“Why everyone is registering there cars in Montana”

*sweats nervously in Pennsylvanian* uh no

[fresstempel]

You definitely need to look at the license plate of a super car, to determine that the owner may be rich

[loganwick]

Another I’ve heard you can skirt emissions is if you have a trusted family member who lives in a state with no emissions, have both your names on the title. Then register it in that state but drive it where you live. I’ve certainly never done this myself but I’ve heard it works well.
