Many of the businesses that fed off the bases there and in Fayetteville were on the seedy side. Some still are. Caveat emptor.
Nice Holden Monaro. Those cars are sweet.
I think you are probably just gonna have to pay. I’ve had the same thing happen here in CT
That’s nothing. I moved to teh People’s Republic of Maryland and had to pay sales tax on a car I had owner for over FIVE YEARS.
NIce!
I knew you’d have a photo. :-D
You have it exactly right!...We are now “Hosts” to the “Parasites”
Exactly opposite of what the Constitution was designed as.....

suck it up and pay it. I just did. The tax on my 05 express was MORE than I paid for it.
That is right. MORE than I paid for it.
I bought it at an auction while everyone was sleeping for a few hundred bucks. It had 300,000 miles on it (north of 310,000 now)
Auction company wrote it up, taxed me at the purchase price and I got plates in the mail a few weeks later. 5 months later I was wondering where my title was so I called the good old DMV..
You owe us 700 dollars Mr Cableguy.. We don’t think that is really what you paid for the van and it’s worth much more.
I fought with um till the plates ran out and they would not let me get new tabs till I paid um. Even told um if it’s worth more than I paid for it cut me a check! I’ll pay the income tax and you can sell it again at the price you think it’s worth and tax it again! a win win! No sale.
What else was I to do?
If you paid tax in CA I am sure there is a way to get a refund of it. I suspect they will just send you an IOU though.
If CA is a state where the plates stay with the owner you’d have to go to the CA DMV to get a temp tag to drive it home.
Then they nail ya.
But ya, it does seem odd that he had to pay CA tax. I bought a salvage pickup from TX and had to pay sales tax on it even though it was shipped up here. When I called to ask why they said TX looks at salvage cars/trucks as “merchandise” and thus, is subject to state sales tax. I said, ok, but what about items shipped out of state? It was a trucking company that hauled it to Minnesota for me. Much like boxing the item up and sending it UPS..
Lost that fight too.
Yes they have. Side effect of cash for clunkers.
Sandy just gave used car values another shot in the arm.
