Westport asked:


My mother in law has a Honda Accord and I have a BMW. I would like to give her the BMW and take the Accord. The problem is that in order to register the cars we would need to pay sales tax on the MARKET VALUE of each car. Is there a way we can trade cars and avoid paying sales tax? My car is registered in Connecticut. My mother in law’s car is registered in Mass.

First and foremost, please only serious responses.
Okay I might be breaking some car dealer code or something, but come on and let me in the loop, becaue I’m at my witts end with this crap.

My story might be a little long, but vaild for how you might respond.

A lot of people that I have contacted in the newspaper (because this is the only way I can find cars within my price range) will tell me that they have sold the car I’m calling about, but the all of a sudden they have another car but it’s supposed to a little more than the car I was calling for. A lot of these men that I’m calling seem to already be dealers.

The feeling that I’m getting is that these dealers are buying cars from these accutions that regular folk can’t get into, and they probably half a** fix them up and sell them. Am I correct and should I avoid these type of deals. Does anyone have some hidden advice that you could give in dealing with these people.
Also when the sellar says they will make it where that you want have to pay sales tax is that another way of knowing that they are dealer and something might be wrong with this situation?

I live in Pennsylvania and I hear that a lot of people buy cars in Delaware because they don’t charge sales tax. I’m just looking for someone out there that has done this to see if it really saves you money or if its more paperwork than its worth to get pennsylvania tags after buying a car in Delaware.

I heard that some people purchase cars out of state to avoid high sales tax here in California. Does this work or is it worth it for new or used cars? Does anyone know whats involved? Would it be worth it to even fly to another state and then drive back? Anyone have any experience in this area?
