However, the Massachusetts excise tax basically discourages the purchase of new cars. A used 2008 model car that originally retailed for $85,000 (e.g. Mercedes-Benz S550) would have a LOWER excise tax the year of purchase (used) than a 2011 model car that retailed for $25,000 e.g. Honda Accord EX.
You'd think the state might want to encourage (or at least be more neutral) the purchase of new/newer cars as they tend to be more fuel efficient, safer, etc.
