what is the sales tax on a used car in barrington illinois
If you live and register the car in Illinois then you will pay the Illinois car dealer for the sales tax. If you live in a different state than where you bought the car the dealer might collect the sales tax if the two states have a cooperative agreement. If the states do not have an agreement you will pay the sales tax when your register the car.

Florida is going to want you to pay the sales tax in Florida (and, of course, Illinois is going to want you to pay the sales tax in Illinois). If you immediately register the car in Florida, you are going to have to pay sales tax there (and can probably get out of paying it in Illinois). If you register it in Illinois first, then you'll probably have to pay tax in both locations. The only state I definitively know the rules for is Massachusetts, where you must pay sales tax on any car you have owned for less than a year when you first register it there. They tried to make me pay sales tax on my car in MA when I moved there since I was registering it in February 1992 and had purchased it in February 1991, but fortunately the specific dates of purchase showed I'd owned it for 367 days, and I got out of paying the sales tax.

Illinois, because Illinois has made the sale; therefore, Illinois must charge you and pay the sales tax.
You should only pay the sales tax in the state it was purchased and the registration fee in the state it is registered.
The state sales tax rate in Illinois is 6.250%. With local taxes, the total sales tax rate is between 6.250% and 11.000%.
Illinois. You pay the sales tax levied by the jurisdiction you purchase the vehicle in. As an example, if you buy a loaf of bread in Illinois, then eat it in Ohio, you still pay the Illinois sales tax.
