<div dir="ltr">I drive a 2002 Mazda Protege with ~170,000 miles on it. Given the features, mileage and condition of the car, the Kelly Blue Book says my car is worth $3,587 if sold to a private party.<br><br>My new tax bill on the car is $208.52, or 5.813% of the car's value at the $60/thousand tax rate.<br>
<br>Last year I paid $250.52. This is a 16.75% reduction. Using this figure as deprecation, in a 5 year period at the newest mill rate I should expect to pay: <br><br>$250.52<br>$208.52<br>$173.59<br>$144.68<br>$120.45<br>
