Excise tax is based on a rapidly depreciating book value, so that's typical.
In contrast, NH has a town "registration fee" which is much worse than excise tax after the car's 1st year, because it goes down linearly by 0.3%/yr. So I paid a $500 town fee on my 2 year old car. NH gets you every which way, they just don't call it a tax.
