Glad I do not live in Mpls, does living in Illinois equate to the same as living in Chicago?
Earlier I was told me paying dealer price under $500 was doubtful as they had paid $535 OTD with a 24" B&C so I was asking how much of the $535 was tax and cost of the B&C which had nothing to do with the dealer making money or not only asking what the OTD price was pretax.
I used Minneapolis as an example because that was where the dealer was from in the that they guy that was trying to bust my nuts quoted. As for Minnesota you have a statewide 6.875% tax and I bet a dollar to a donut there are few if any locations that do not also have local sales taxes. The AI bot says your average is 8.04%.
As for your reference to Illinois and Chicago. the Illinois sales tax is 6.25% but of course we have local sales taxes. The AI bot say is Chicago the combined tax is 10.25%. I do not know as I never paid any there. My county is a total of 7.25%
I buy in Iowa which has a 6% tax but many have a local option school tax of 1% bringing it to 7%
