We live in NV, bought a 2006 Chevy Colorado last month from CA because they gave us the "best" price. They KNEW i was shoping around, I told them I wanted their bottom line price, everything included. They told me with taxes and fees what our final price would be. Well, when I was getting money out of the bank for the down payment, my boyfriend was signing the papers (the vehicle was delivered by an old guy, who just showed my bf where to sign). Like an idiot, my boyfriend signed all the papers showing him what the payment would be, how many months, etc. Well, he went to register the vehicle yesterday and was told by the DMV that we hadn't payed taxes on the vehicle and now owe $2000.00. I was FLOORED and completely pissed. Sure enough, on the contract it says "sales tax... N/A". I am LIVID that they screwed us over. Is that NORMAL practice NOT to include sales tax? This was our first car and we had NO idea what to look for in the contract... is there ANYTHING we can do?

You do not live in California, so a California dealer is not required to collect tax. They told you the cost from them including all taxes and fees that they are required to collect. You owe the tax to Nevada.
The contract was explicit. They did not collect tax, because you did not owe any in California. You can not blame the dealer for you not reading the contract!!!
You can pay the tax you owe or not register the car!!
Sorry
