It varies from county-to-counry (or city-to-city for that mater).

: thats 1000 bucks

For a $20,000 car, yeah. Of course it depends on the appraised value; most
cars go down. But it's only once a year -- so you'd save $800, yes?

: i heard that its a dead tax?  is it still alive?

The current governor campaigned largely on an elimination of the tax. His
opponent pointed out that the money would have to come from somewhere, a
conclusion the governor now agrees with. So the tax is being phased out
over a period of time, but only for the first $20,000 of value. Beyond
that, you'll still pay some taxes.

: what counties dont have one?

Afaik they all have it.

: which county has the highest?

It varies. The more urban the county, generally the higher. For instance
Fairfax and Arlington (which are closer to DC) are higher than, say,
Fauquier or Loudon. The range is about 3% to 5%, roughly.
