Note

For purposes of sub. (3), "years old" refers to model years as designated by the manufacturer. Use the following formula to determine if the vehicle is 10 or more model years old: Current calendar year minus 10 equals the most recent exempt model year. For example: Current calendar year of 1995 - 10 = 1985 model year; thus, 1985 and older vehicles are exempt. Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
