In many states including Virginia, you do not pay simple "SALES TAX" when you by a car. There is a special TAX, usually less, called USE TAX which is charged against the sale of the car.
One viewpoint on this concept of "USE tax" is that you shouldn't have to pay SALES tax on things that incur a yearly property tax, like a home.
This "SALES tax on cars" behavior is known as double-dipping and many states do it; and is viewed as a despicable practice.
