[QUOTE="soberups, post: 929813, member: 14668"] I was told that all of the new package cars for the western half of the United States are ordered in Oregon, for the simple reason that there is no sales tax here. Also, Oregon vehicle registrations are a flat fee, rather than being based upon the value of the vehicle. So every few years we get a bunch of new trucks, and the "old" ones get sent elsewhere once they have 50,000+ miles on them and have depreciated in value. This makes them cheaper to register in states where there is a sales tax and/or value-based registration fees. We still have plenty of older P-10's with stick shifts as well as a handful of old P-7's that are used as shop spares but most of our equuipment is les than 6 yrs old. [/QUOTE]
