No state income taxes.
How do you think they make up the difference of no state income tax? >

We rented when we lived in Texas, so it wasn't too bad.
Until we needed to buy a car. Even with a used car, we still had to pay a $1500 tax for the privilege of buying a car in the state of Texas. >

That's a sales taxes not income tax. Do other states not have sales tax on cars? >

Most due… but probably not as much. >

It's 6.25% in Texas and excludes any trade-in value. Looks like 7.25% in California, 4% in New York plus any county fees, 6% in Florida, and to pick a less populated state, 4% in Wyoming plus any county taxes. Texas doesn't seem too far outside the norm on car sales tax at least. >

6.5 here in MN. Though if the vehicle is over 10 years and low-value (sells for less than 3k), it's a flat 10 bucks. >

That's an interesting case for older/low value vehicles. That really helps people who can't afford anything newer.
