A gift in the eyes of the clerk does not make it a gift in the eyes of an in-law. :^)

Yeah. Another government rip-off. Buy a car that needs some work, pay a low price for it, and get to pay tax on a book price that most dealers don't even charge.

Crooked a$$holes. I'd like to see 'em all take a hike.

I discovered how the system works when my father sold me the keys to his old car for $799 and the car for $1.

in MI you are not taxed if you purchase a vehicle from a (approved) relative. and the people who collect the tax are pretty forgiving, if the sale looks reasonable, they'll ok it, if it looks ridiculous they'll assess it.

I think if they could, they'd outlaw self-sufficiency outright.
They're working on it...just a matter of time.

don't republicans control all houses of the texas leg and the governship? Isn't texas one of the most conservative states in the country? So why are the raising taxes and giving special interest breaks to liscenced dealers?

If you find the right insurance adjuster, they are free to charge at little as they want to complete a certified appraisal. I have done many of them for gas money alone.

There should be NO sales taxes on private transactions of second hand goods.

FIL gave me a car many years ago and the title transfer was higher because it was a gift than if he’d have sold it to me.

It was nothing more than a car to take to the beach and keep our other vehicle from suffering premature decomp from the salt and sand.

63 Mercury Monterrey, slanted back window that rolled down and a 390, I loved that car. :)
