I stay in SC for a couple of reasons:

1) Sales Tax on a car purchase is 5%, with a maximum fee of $500!
2) Personal Property tax on my 2007 Limited Crossfire Coupe was $66.89 in August and that included a $25 fee for the new state tag for the plate!

I had a colleague of mine, when I worked in VA Mountain locale, that said if he ever got the opportunity to move south of I-85, that was as far north that he would ever live. I do live south of I-85!
