If you buy a used car from a private party, you pay no sales tax, although you are legally supposed to report it. If you buy a used car from a dealer, you will pay sales tax.
Sales Taxes - most places - yes....collected when you register/title vehicle.
No ... there is no sales tax on private person to person sales on used cars. Buying from a dealer may be a different story.
No, but use tax will apply. What is use tax and how is it calculated?
Yes, when you transfer the vehicle to your name, you will pay the taxes in the state you register the vehicle in.
No
Yes! the reason is because taxes have to be assessed for the value of the vehicle for registration purposes
I believe the taxes are collected by the state when you go to the dmv to transfer the vehicles title. The taxes are based on the sale price of the vehicle and the percentage of you state tax. The buyer is the person who would be paying the tax.
Used from a private party.
no
No you don't pay taxes to an individual, only a dealer. You will pay the sales tax at the dmv when you go to register the vehicle.
When you go to transfer title from the seller to you, all taxes will be collected at that time. In my state the answer is yes, you will pay sales tax.
In most states there is no legal recourse when you buy a used vehicle from a private party. This is true in California, for instance. Private parties are not required to offer any kind of warranty on used vehicles.
