I also bought this car out of state and purchased it off the internet. A friend of mine told me since i bought the car through the internet and out of state i do not need to pay local state sales tax on the vechicle. If this is true it will literally save me thousands of dollars.

he claims on the past 3 SPORTS cars he has registered he hasnt paid a time and has gotten new titles on all of them. Said he mails in all the forms vs going to the counter (he said it wont work that way). Last car he did this on was a newer corvette.

you do realize that internet sales tax is an extremely grey area. Are you suggesting when i buy a new toy off of ebay for my child that i have to go home and write a check to my local state for the purchase?

Only if you want to REGISTER the car. You can't title or register a car without paying sales tax on it. Your "friend" is wrong. Taxes are due in the state you want to title or register it, NOT in the "state of purchase".
Lots of people try buying cars in NH and driving them to MA to register, to "avoid sales tax". But it doesn't work.
I'd imagine that your friend didn't pay sales tax (if true) because the cars aren't registered to him. Or maybe he leased them. Anyway, he's wrong.

I'd love to hear that phone call to the police. The car is sold as is when two individuals do a deal. Unless you're a dealer, you have no obligations other than to deliver the car and the title. Now, they could take you to court and sue you but have little chance of winning. As long as you didn't say anything stupid like "I guarantee this car will not give you any problems for the next 10 years" or something similar, you should be OK. Hopefully the buyer is not a psycho who starts stalking you. This is another reason I'd rather trade a car in and lose money than deal with idiots who experience buyer's remorse.

I doubt you'll be able to bypass sales tax. Most States will not register a vehicle unless and until sales tax is collected. The good news is that they usually "low-ball" the value of a vehicle, so you won't have to pay an exorbitant sum. Good luck!

Tell your friend to lay off the weed. You pay the sales tax when you register the car regardless of where you buy it.

Nope, unfortunately not, you'll end up paying the taxes when you go and register your vehicle.
Also if you purchased the car from out of state, you'll have the wonderful headache of making sure the car passes the required state inspection requirements (be it a safety inspection, emissions inspection or both)

You will most likely have to pay the sales tax when you register the vehicle.

You have to pay sale tax regardless where you buy the car,the only way you can get your license and registration in your name is to pay the tax.

You're right, there is no state sales tax, but the catch is, you can't register it.
