There are a couple scenarios where I would be happy to move back to NC (went to college down there). I cannot imagine ever moving to SC though, that state government is crazy and will never change.

Reply to comment by abovethe_clouds in Excise tax insanity at the DMV... More than the cost of the vehicle! by abovethe_clouds
Oh right, I did the math a month ago when we put a deposit on a new hybrid (still waiting Hyundai...).
I forgot the formula while reading your post (since the FMV for a new vehicle is set) since at the time I was mostly focused on the weight and MPG of the vehicle we are going with.
I think your avenue is to try and discuss the FMV with a supervisor as that is possibly negotiable, the weight/mpg is likely written in stone. Maybe reach out to your council person?

I thought the excise tax was based based on the vehicles weight/MPG which could be why yours is so expensive. Am I thinking of something else?

Yeah, they tried permanent DST in the 70's and it sucked so much that they got rid of it after a couple years because people were dying. This is stupid griping, standard time for life!

There is one on Quincy St in Arlington not far from the Virginia Square stop. I am not sure it is open to the public since its owned by Arlington Public Schools.
