Selling a car = pain in the ass!
 

So I sold one of my two cars that I had up. Guy came by, drove the car, signed the agreement and gave me a deposit :thumbsup

Now I pay off the car from the leasing company and get the title in the mail. Go to AAA and find out that I have to pay tax on the car, as well so does the buyer... this is after I called Audi to make SURE this was not the case.

I called over to the DMV and same deal... I pay tax on the car, then I get a new title and then he has to pay tax.

For fucks sake, how much fucking tax does the state need to gather? :mad::mad:

Yes it is.

That's why they offer you $500.00 on your trade in at the dealership with a straight face.

i get most of my money at pornpayouts.com check it out an let me know what ya think thanks in advance

You called Audi re: a tax issue?

see you later

That's why I much prefer to lease.

I had an old truck sitting here in the garage. Hasn't been driven in 5 years. Hasn't been on the road or registered in that time either...so no plates, no insurance, no nothing, no gas, probably low on fluids...but the guy and his 16 year old kid wanted it.

They drove it around the block and decided to take it. I wrote up a receipt, signed over the title and off they went.

2 hours later I hear the car outside my house and they're back wanting to return the car because it has a blown head gasket. Turns out they were from 60 miles from here and tried to drive the car without checking the fluids and fucked the car up about 5 miles from their house. They had just turned around and come all the way back hoping I'd give them their money back. All without plates, registration or insurance.

I sent them packing. In the time they were gone I'd ordered a new lens for my camera. :1orglaugh

Could have been worse. If the head gasket didn't blow, the rusted brakes probably would have failed and killed them both on the highway offramp :thumbsup

that's nuts haha

it sounds like you fucked something up, there is no reason to pay taxes twice here, when only one person bought the car... :2 cents:

I think they were pulling a scam, so I had no problem sending them packing. They tried to get me to give them part of their money back. I wasn't having any of it, including taking the car back and giving them their cash back.

Sold as is. Who knows what the fuck they were up to for the two hours they had it.

I have broken car in yard, dont know what to do, sell or repair

When I was talking to someone there, they told me as long as the title is transferred with 10 days, the buyer pays for the tax... should of known that they didnt know what they are talking about.

Leasing is fine if you dont even plan on buying the car, then you have to pay tax on it.

It depends totally on the car.

Well, as woj stated, it sounds like something is screwy. The seller does not normally pay the tax, the buyer does. But I don't sell stuff in PA, so can't state for certain what your rules are there.

To get the title you need to prove you paid taxes on it. The dealer should have records of you financing your taxes on it or something like that right? I think that may be the case.

When you lease a vehicle you pay taxes on each payment and not on the purchase. :2 cents:

In this case you can avoid double sales tax if you get the bank to purchase the vehicle for you. (Have the purchaser buy the vehicle through whomever the financing bank is, Audi, Bank of America etc.)

If you buy the car out from the financial institution, you will pay sales tax, and when the new owner purchases the car from you, they have to pay sales tax.
