I just got back from the DOL web site. The sales tax on auto sales is not a sales tax. It is a user fee and it is based on the actual market value, not what you paid for it. The problem is Low blue book is 12,000 and actual market value per Ebay is between 5 and 7K. I guess I'm going to have to find a dealer to apraise the car for a more reasonable price. I hate this state the way they handle title transfers.
