pedzola Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 was it the black one with the carbon lip kit and wing Yes. And also, everyone knows the only place to have a car meet in CT is Hooters on the Turnpike in Wethersfield. Hello consumer. And I say unto you, please use exact change. This is my shark.

waynekranzler Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm wondering about all the MT shifting problems I've been reading about on this forum. I haven't experienced any of these problems with my LGT. I've owned alot of MTs over the years (Datsun 240 & 260Zs, a Pontiac 2+2, a Celica GT, Celica Supra, a Honda Accord, a Cosworth Vega and even a Taurus MT5 station wagon) and the LGT shifts as well or better then any of them. Are these problems mostly seen from drivers with little MT experience? All MTs are different....you just have to get used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct03si Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 not true the new hooters in manchester is so much better.......well the view is anyway:icon_bigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedzola Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well, historically speaking it seems like everyone has car meets at hooters on the pike. I guess w/the new Hooters in Manchester tradition could change... I live right next to Buckland Hills... so the Manchester location is about a 1 minute drive for me. Surprisingly I haven't been there yet. -__^ Hello consumer. And I say unto you, please use exact change. This is my shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeracer Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Anybody get their auto tax bill yets.? The assessment value for this car is way too high. They think it costs about 26K to buy this car used on average. They are crazy...!!! I will be appealing this in September and need everyone to do the same to save yourself some money. Anyone in???

teknorpi Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 26k?? I got my 06 for less than 24k with 30 miles on it. How big was the tax bill if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emulous Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hartford here, and I'm willing to host another g2g, just needs to be on the weekends. I bought mine back in September and I didn't get a tax bill for it at the end of December. I got one for my '04 Element and it appears Hartford has a 61.82 mil rate, bringing the yearly taxes for the Element to $936.64. They valued the Element at 14.2K, my guess is the Legacy will be twice as much bringing it to about $1900 a year. Needless to say, it was a shock since I just moved to CT and Hartford in March. Can someone tell me why the taxes on my cars are more than the taxes on my house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rely18 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 holy crap. i just moved here in june and i am not looking forward to that tax bill. doesn't it come at the end of the summer? Are leased vehicles taxed in CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyh Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Norwich CT here. 05 GT Wagon 5MT. Owned since November of 04, put 33,000 abusive miles on the car...expecting another 166,000 abusive miles out of it...at least. I got my tax bill as well, thank god I can claim "non-residency" (military). Martin Luther - "Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long."

emulous Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Rely18, It's my understanding that each city/town handles their taxes differently. I was told that Hartford charges tax twice a year, 1 bill comes in December (due Jan 1) and the next bill comes in June. I chatted with a lot of folks online and found out that Hartford's mil rate is about double of what most cities/towns use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknorpi Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 holy crap. i just moved here in june and i am not looking forward to that tax bill. doesn't it come at the end of the summer? Are leased vehicles taxed in CT? I moved here in February and I am still shocked at the taxes in this state - and they are wondering why no skilled labor or big corporations want to come here? I guess paying over 17 cents a kWhr for electricity doesn't help either. I wonder if they will send me a tax bill for my lawn tractor and snowblower???

pedzola Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've never lived anywhere but CT... are taxes significantly lower elsewhere? Bought my LGT end of September and haven't gotten a bill yet. It's true that every town taxes vehicles and property seperate. It's not a state tax... althought maybe some states do it that way? I dunno. In any case I previously lived in coventry and drove an '03 civic si. Taxes were about $400 twice a year. ($800 total) Hello consumer. And I say unto you, please use exact change.

Ridgeracer Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The tax bill for my car in Bridgeport is 730/year. They charge me twice over the year(365). First one is due end of this month.

Registration is $35 (IIRC) a year + State inspection, and proof of insurance. Blew my mind the first time I recieved a tax bill for a car. I had no idea what I was looking at until I asked at work.
