Actually, when I bought my car in WV (but registered it in Maryland where I live) it wasn't \"tax free\" but the state waives up to $1,500 in taxes if you buy a hybrid so the $1,300 that I would have owed on my $26,000 Prius made it look like it was tax free. Â If the law stays static, as the price of the prius rises, some folks will eventually find themselves owing some sales tax in Maryland, but not until the sales price goes over $30,000.

in my area of CA (near San Jose) the sales tax is 8.25-8.5%, but my insurance, according to my agent will drop from what i was paying for a '97 taurus plus a '69 corvette, both of which together never got more than 5000 miles a year from me. let's see... that's about 150 gallons of gas a year in a Prius.... hmmmm.... gonna take me about 350 years to amortize that, eh?

but i'll be driving a Prius!
