Buying from a dealer as a private party
Stupid question, but if buying a car from out of state from a local dealer, is there any way they can sell you the car as a private party so that you don't have to pay taxes when it arrives to your state? Or is that illegal?

Have you ever bought a car before? There is no way a dealer can sell you a car as a "private party". So yeah, stupid question.

Note that some states are getting smart regarding sales in used cars with private party because they finally figured out that people were "screwing" them out of tax money, so some I've heard rather than charge tax based on the actual sales price have already gone to an value based system and potentially include vehicle age and mileage, or they might use book/fair market value; this way it doesn't matter if you claim to have paid $1.00, or way more than what they assume the value to be. Note that if they don't believe the price you put down, the state/county has the right to take legal action for tax evasion. Just sayin'. For instance: Texas - https://www.txdmv.gov/standard-presumptive-calculator MS- See page 4 paragraph on sales tax. - https://www.factorywarrantylist.com/...ssippi-faq.pdf MN - older cars - https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/guid...-vehicle-taxes Either way, you gotta pay to play! |

I’m in Kansas and here you have to pay sales tax. They will not register the car until you prove that you already paid sales tax or they will make you pay it when you go to register. There’s no way around it… maybe laws are different there but I haven’t heard of people really getting out of sakes tax except for maybe registering a car in Montana or something.

There is sales tax on used cars in AZ. OP just is asking if a dealer will help him commit fraud to save a few bucks. Which a dealer will not do. It also looks like AZ is still an honor system on used cars so it is possible to defraud the system still, but i am not sure how easy it is to do that with a 50-60k purchase. Its only like 5.X% so imo not a bad rate I have purchased a few cars out of state and its depends on the state but most out of state dealerships file all that with your state on the sale. But double check what they are collecting as a few times the dealer tried to collect their local sales tax from me when my state tax is almost half of what they wanted to collect. I think California is different but i have only gotten quotes on cars never purchased from CA. |

Yeah, we all kinda knew that that is what he was inferring. I was just being as polite as I could.

I've bought plenty of vehicles from out of state. In NH, there's no sales tax. However, in order to register it, there's a town and state portion which is calculated based on the value of the car. 1st year, is the highest, then goes down from there...which usually works out in your favor because the amount assessed < a typical sales tax
Anyway, I moved out but still retain residency there. If I buy a car from anywhere else, I still don't pay sales tax because it's going to be registered in NH. Really no way out of it, because you pay taxes (or fees in my case) in the state where it's going to be registered in. |
