Not that you would pay to the owner, but the state will get it from you when you register it.

Where should sales tax on vehicles in New Jersey be sent?
Normally, in most States, motor vehicle sales taxes are collected by the car dealership from where the vehicle was bought. The car dealership would then forward the collected sales tax to the government. I scoured the internet and the New Jersey Treasury website for further information, including about paying sales taxes on private (i.e., consumer-to-consumer) sales, but could not find anything. In this case, my guess is that you would pay any taxes when you register the vehicle at your local, New Jersey, Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Note that there are a number of exemptions that would allow you to avoid paying sales taxes on your motor vehicle purchase; refer to the "State of New Jersey - Exempt Motor Vehicles" link, below. For further information, contact the DMV or your town hall or city clerk's office or mayor's office.
Can you buy a car in California without pink slip just a bill of sale from a private party?
Not a good idea. What if the guy doesn't really HAVE the pink slip? What if he owes a lot of money to the bank and that's why he can't get the pink slip for you? What if he has sold it to someone else and given THEM the pink slip and you just get a bill of sale? No, go to the DMV and get a replacement title and have him sign it over THERE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not ever buy a car without a "clean" title (without liens). I am not sure what the law in CA is but cars that are 20 years or older do not require a title in many states. Y-THINK-Y

This is a common issue on the Washington-Oregon border. Washington has no income tax. Oregon has no sales tax. Washington residents near the border often make "big ticket" (furniture, cars, etc.) purchases in Oregon to avoid Washington sales tax.

What conditions can make a bill of sale on an 'as is' used car null and void?
It depends on whether it is purchased from a dealer or from a private individual.
ask your state insurance commission in a letter if there is a dealer liability clause appended to the dealer's liability policy that addresses vehicle accidents caused by undiscovered defects or material failures that existed prior to point of sale. The dealer is requred by law to furnish you with his insurance policy number.
Better business bureau can interpret your state's Lemon Law for you with respect to Minimum Vehicle Safety Requirements a car must meet before the dealer can release it, and any recalls under the Magnuson Act that the dealer had an obligation under law to address before releasing the car for sale. Also, if the car has an emissions-related problem, federally mandated warranties may cover the repair of the vehicle by the manufacturer (done at a Chevy dealership if it were a Chevy, etc..).
AS-IS, no warranty means that if it fails after the point of sale, you are stuck with it. but if you can prove the problem existed before the point of sale, you have a case for small claims court. and if it violates safety requirements, such as worn out brake pads down to the metal, or non-functioning driving lights, you can SUE for having your life endangered by an unsafe business practice. They have to inspect these cars before they sell them, and alot of used car dealers do not.
AnswerWhen a private seller says, "as-is" it means: "feel free to examine the goods and only purchase them if you determine that they meets your needs. I am not responsible for anything you don't find." It does not matter whether a defect existed before, at, or after the time of sale, because it was up to the purchaser to discover it (by questions, testing and inspection) and accept the risk that there are hidden problems.However, the "as-is" disclaimer does not excuse any misrepresentations that were made to induce someone to purchase the car. For example, untrue claims of "no rust, new A/C, no rain leaks" would allow cancellation of the contract, if detected within a reasonable time. These are "express warranties" and cannot be disclaimed with "as-is", which only apply to implied warranties. "Great mileage, fun car, best ride in town" are not warranties; merely opinions.
Any other fraud or undue influence can void the sale. The sale is void if the car was stolen (warranty of title) before you received it. If the purchaser is a minor, the contract of sale can also be voidable at the minor's discretion, regardless of the condition of the vehicle or reason for not wanting it.
