Though your right in the sense that there is only PST charged in Alberta, where there needs to be some clarification is that it is not due to HST that we are paying more tax on vehicles in BC. This is a myth. In fact, (and especially in new vehicle purchases) both PST and GST were charged on vehicle purchases anyways.
That would be the three prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Saskatchewan's main industry is Wheat, where Alberta's main industry is Oil, so for agricultural needs Saskatchewan would probably be your best bet. However, Alberta has cheaper prices and no PST taxes.
Private sales of used cars pay only the PST. Used cars bought from Dealers pay both PST/GST (the dealers are providing a service - go figure).

If you are not a licensed dealer, then you don't charge state tax. The dmv will collect the taxes due, you just have to make sure you fill in the amount you sell the car for on the back of the title or on a bill of sale. The above-answer is only partially correct: it does NOT apply to Alberta. GST is a federal sales tax and generally does NOT apply to sales of used items between private individuals in which the seller is not deriving income from sales of that category of item. GST may apply to a used car sale between private individuals only if: [1] PST (prov. sales tax) applies, and [2] the particular province's PST has been blended with the federal GST. In that case, that province's Vehicle Registry will charge and collect the PST/blended PST&GST. In the case of Alberta, since there is no PST, there cannot be a blended PST&GST; therefore no GST is payable or chargeable on the sale of a used vehicle between private individuals in which the seller is not deriving income from sales of used vehicles ("curbers"). The AB Motor Vehicle Registry only charges GST on the price of the 'products' it sells: license plates, driver's licenses, etc. Zero tax on the actual vehicle sale itself.
