Right, no motor or trans as yet... so I am looking at 7'somthing percent for sales tax on the cost of the car plus estimated engine and trans costs? Then registration fees.

So I should be looking at something like $4000-$6000.

Yes, and when you later R&R that $300 junk yard motor and transmission for a better powertrain, spend $10,000.00+ on body, paint interior, etc... and have it appraised for insurance purposes don't forget to go down there and have them adjust your purchase price for the full appraised value. After all, it's the honest thing to do.

Without knowing the total cost of your build, we cannot determine if this amount is correct. The sales tax rate is much more beneficial where your located than the SF Bay Area.

Ah, the madness begins once again. Duane has a point - it will be interesting to see what effect the economy has on how quickly the 500 numbers evaporate in 2009. Too bad there isn't some way to start a pool
