Sales tax lesson I learned

Just in case this could benifit one person, it will be worth it. I bought my 97LGT in Oklahoma. I got it for $3100. The dealer wrote that dollar aount on the title. I had to pay sales tax on the car only because it was OVER $3000! to the tune of $272. If I would have just told the guy to write $2999 and gave him the rest on a different check, i would saved some money.

 

yup...sorry to hear that, I usually say $2800-$2900 so it isn't fishy (trying to avoid paying tax) and pay the difference with a separate check/$$$

 

I paid $17-18k for my car in wisconsin and never ended up paying tax on it when I got my mn title. I brought all my financing paperwork and everything :dunno:

 

I'm reporting you Big E 5.5% + Tabs $55

 

Hey I showed up with my checkbook in hand ready to pay and they never asked. I gave them their $55 for tabs and went on my merry way.
