It is a State by State thing and method. Overwhelmingly most do have a tax on purchase of used car, whether from dealer or individual. The difference is how the tax is collected. From a dealer (who can normally also just charge tax on the amount of the sale above the value of a trade in, if any), they collect it (along with any other transfer fees, and may even include that in financing they arrange). If individual, when you go to register it, the MVD will collect it along with the lisc and other fees.

Be careful! As long as the car is titled to a private owner, NO you don't have to pay sales tax. But we made a huge mistake! Thought we were buying from a private individual but he put the title in his privately owned company name and now we have to pay sales tax. A fact the OWNER should have disclosed!!
