In almost every situation when a car or other TITLED objected transfers owners where a 'transaction' has been made, there is a sales tax to be paid by the purchaser in most cases depending on the 'deal' you've set up.

It is NOT the seller's responsibility as far as I've ever seen in my life.

But in not every case does one sell a car either. There are "Arms Length Sales" made where a family member gives something to another. I am pretty sure it must be a family member but NOT 100%. Also, when a family member you can give up to, at least in the state of Ohio, consult you local library or do a search online for your state and find out what the amount of a 'gift' you can give to someone.

It's best not to fudge with this amount even though sometimes you want to do someone a solid and help out, you have to make sure when you DO sell the car, you don't lowball (too much), the price you sold for as it does need to somewhat conform with what might be considered the 'fair market value' of the car or object in question.

In short. The buyer almost always has to pay sales tax when the transfer of title goes through in your transaction.

Good Care!

If a car is repossess by a dealer for nonpayment can the dealer resell it?

It will probably depend on your state laws but in NC and SC and most others the answer is YES they can resell it. Some states just require a letter to the customer as a Notice of Resell...and in some cases, they can keep all personal belongings at the time of the repo.

If you have a resale license, you can. Check your state's website for information about what is required.


Is there any way to obtain sales or ownership info on a firearm purchased several years ago if the receipt is unavailable and the dealer is out of business?

This depends on whether the dealer just folded or if the business was bought out by someone. A dealer going out of business is required to surrender his records to the ATF. If he is bought out, the buyer can keep the records, or he can choose to surrender them to the ATF anyway. You may try to contact ATF about those records.

Where can you get a VW TDI user manual?

If you bought it new, it should come with the car when you bought it. But if it's not, you can just ask VW local dealer or in some parts shop. If they don't have it on stock, they could just probably order it from the dealer.


If you just bought a used car and want to return it is there any grace period?

NO, unless the dealer agrees.


How do you make an extra 100 dollars a week with as little work as possible?

Sell something on Ebay. Yard sales. Buy items at yard sales, clean them up and resell them. It's amazing how just a little soap and water will increase somethings value.


If you just bought a Blackberry and the sales guy puts in his BBM to show you how it works - does that mean he likes you?

No. He is just being a good sales person and he could loose his job if something started with a customer.


What is the value of a model 99 savage in 300 savage?

It will in every case depend on the condition of the gun. The model 99 savage has 24 different model letter designations so you would really have to look in a current blue book of gun values to determine which model you have and then what grade it is to get a better ideal of what your particular model is worth. Another way it to just take it to any gun dealer and ask how much they would buy it for and when told just say, "Well I just was wondering but I think I will keep it for now" Then use that figure they give you knowing if they were to resell it they would usually resell it for almost twice of what they bought it for. If a dealer was to say he would buy it for $150 then he would probably try to resell it for $250-$300 and so on. Of course some dealers would say $100 then if they bought it and you came back and looked a week later you mght see it for sale on a shelf for $450 Which is why it is worth it to have the Blue book of gun values book just as a way to keep track of what is a good deal and what is not when buying or selling. Then use the figure you find for your model and grade and find a good dealer that will sell on consignment for you. Takes a lot of hassel out of trying to sell a firearm if you have a gun dealer that will do it for you in a place people can see it on a daily basis for a small 10% consignment fee.


Want to find out history of your engine?

well, if it is used and u bought it from a dealer, just say "show me the car fax"


What can you do if you bought a used car from a dealer and now it has major engine issues?

If you didn't get a warranty on the car you are pretty much on your own. The dealer doesn't have to do anything since you bought the car "as is". You could try to take it back to the dealer and have them fix it, file a claim against the dealer with the state automotive people, take the dealer to court, or just fix it. I think that is pretty much your options. I might do a combination of two or three of the options.
