We are looking at a used car at a price well below market value. Seller in Maine claims that he will set up the transaction through yahoo!finance. We should deposit funds with yahoo!, he ships the car to us in Ohio & we will have 15 days to inspect before yahoo! releases funds to him. I don’t see this type of transaction available on yahoo!’s web pages. Seems suspect

The car dealer sales manager lied to me about certain things of the used car?

I just bought a used car and brought it back home. I noticed several things that I asked the sales manager about. The explanations ended up to be false, so he basically lied to me about certain items inside the car. Can I do anything? Please help!
Well for example, I asked him about these spots on the clear plastic piece for the instrument panel. He said it was just from the spray they use for cleaning and it can just be wiped off. I couldn’t get them off at home.
I also bought from an official Infiniti dealer. Does that make any difference?
Which line do I fill out for writing off sales tax on a car purchase? I only file with 1040A I do not Itemize?

I bought a car in 2008 in Wa state and was told I can write off the sales tax of $1072 dollars. I only file using the 1040A form and do not itemize. Where can I write this off? Which line.
Do you have to pay state sales tax if you buy a car for export?

If I buy a car here in the US, but do not title it and instead ship it overseas, would I be able to avoid paying state sales tax?
I know the practice in the US is that you pay sales tax based on where you register the car, not where you buy the car. I bought a car in NY, but at the time was living in NJ. I paid the lower NJ sales tax.
I want to buy a car here in the US and ship it to Colombia. I have already checked with the customs people in Colombia and it is 100% permissable to ship a brand new car there from overseas (shipping used cars is prohibited).
So, I’m just wondering, if I don’t ever register the vehicle in the US, and just have the car delivered directly to the point of shipment in Miami, can I avoid paying state sales tax?

I beleave it’s about 20% but I would like to find a site with “official” stats. I work at a Toyota dealership in Florida and we are at 30%. That’s just the front sales and not counting internet.

I’m going to buy a used car soon. How do you negotiate with a used car sales associate for the best price? And how do you negotiate with an individual that’s selling his/her used car? Thanks.
Is it possible to lower the cost of sales tax at a DMV after purchasing a used car from a private seller?

I paid 17000 for a used car, and I will have to register it & pay sales tax at the DMV here in NJ. I’ve been told that it’s possible to write down that I paid less then to avoid the high sales tax, does anyone know how strict those rules are and if it’s even possible to say I paid 15 or 16000 instead of the full 17000 to avoid the high sales tax?
If I sell my car instead of trade-in do I still only pay sales tax on the difference of my new car?

I know that if I buy a new car and trade in my current car I’d only pay sales on the difference left over after my trade-in. Would the same apply if I sell the car myself privately? For example, if I sell my car for $25k and then buy a new car for $35k would I pay sales tax on the full $35k or just the $10k difference?

I have been getting quotes for a new civic. The cheapest quote, by far, is a place in New Hampshire, but I live in Vermont. If I buy it there and bring it back, will I pay the VT sales tax when I register it? Does anyone know how that works since there is no sales tax in NH?

Car dealer failed to include sales tax, what can/should I do?
08
Apr
Last week I made the biggest purchase of my life, by buying a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, in order to complete the deal, I needed the taxes to be included on the loan because I would only have enough money to make a solid down payment. However the dealer and their finance worker failed to include the taxes in the loan because they said we didn’t ask for it. However, we stated before we even looked at the car that we needed the taxes to be included. They said they’ve included taxes in loans before, so it wouldn’t be a problem. As we were figuring out the numbers, like how much my down payment would be, and what they would give me for my car, I asked them again to include the taxes with the loan.
When we were signing the actual papers, they told me they included it in the total cost of car and that when I came back to pick up the title (paper work so we could go to the courthouse) they would give me a check to pay for the taxes. However that wasn’t the case, which I found out today. When I went down there they said that I didn’t ask for them to include it in the loan and I would have to pay for it out of my pocket. Meaning that I need to find an extra $700 by October 27th to pay the 3% tax on the car.
Now my question is, is there anything I can do to force the dealer to pay for the taxes since it was apart of our verbal contract? On the official contract, it says N/A for taxes paid, but there is an extra $704 on top of the cars actual price. Its not like the dealer will actually pay for the taxes, since they’ll get their money back from the bank anyways. I just wasn’t planning to pay for that expense right now…
Any and all advice is welcomed, if you have any questions let me know.
My dad was there, but he was a “co-buyer” so his word would go as far as mine if we did take legal action, right?
The loan is through Mitsubishi, if that makes a difference, so its not through my bank. At the dealer, the salesman knew that the only way I could afford a new car is if I had the sales tax included with the loan. Their cooperate manager was there (all the way from Salt Lake City), but he wouldn’t listen. He assumed he knew what was going on, and took the finance workers side. He said that the finance worker knew nothing about the taxes being added in, however she told me this as I was leaving after I finished paying the down payment a few days after we signed the papers, “I’ll see you next Monday to give you the paper work for title and the check for the taxes.” So she did have to know about it, but she was just covering her *** so she wouldn’t get fired for messing up my loan. I wouldn’t be so mad, if I had a realistic chance of gathering the $700.
