you have to declare the 100k as income. With that high of income it pushes up your tax bracket.

I thought I read that onstar will also give up 25k to help with the taxes.

Wouldn't the $25,000 just add to your tax burden as it would also have to be claimed as income?

I guess it would, but Would still help as the tax on 25k would still leave some to pay on the car

Nice.

[CamaroHutch]

I would absolutely want a ZR1, but I don't want to even think about the additional income tax, sales tax, or the excise tax every year....

[Bonanza7]

A couple of posters stated that they would not have the money to pay the taxes. I won a Wrangler some time ago, and the dealer offered to buy it back before I took delivery. Offered me the same price he paid Chrysler. Could do the same, presumably, with the on Star car. Good money in that deal. Get the most expensive car you can, sell it back and pocket the money. Buy another one for cash.

[Kurushio]

I think i would have to get the ZR1 and probably sell the Camaro even if i have to to help pay for the taxes, gas, and insurance atleast for a little while. Then i would probably sell it and probably get a new SS or maybe a ZL1 but it would be rough lol.
