Best Answer

You have to pay sales tax on private sale when you register vehicle or within 10 days, whichever is sooner. Unless sale is from a direct family member (parent, spouse, child, brother, or sister,) then an exemption may be granted.

Whether or not you register, the sales tax is due within 10 days.
