If i were to trade my car in to a dealership in another state… and my trade amount is greater than the car i’m buying, do I still have to pay sales tax on the full amount when I register it in NY? ---

I’m thinkin you will. All dmv is gonna see is a bill of sale and tell you to pay sales tax ---

If the bill of sale says -$880 does the state pay you, is the real question here. ---

It depends on the state. **I researched this when I did it last August** However, I traded a car straight up for another car at a dealer in PA, same price, no tax was paid. ---

Yeah because the cars in question are, my trade $18000 and the car I will be buying ~$12k If I bring it back to NY i will be PISSED if I have to pay a grand to put it on the road. ---

The only times i’ve seen it work the way you think is when you are trading and buying from a nys dealer, not out of state. Do you really think the state is gonna not get their cut–pleaseee ---

I traded in my STi on my elise in chicago. On the bill of sale from the dealer it listed my trade amount. I only paid tax on the difference. Same thing when i traded in my 06 sti on the rabbit. Trade in 21,000, rabbit was 17,500. I got a check from the dealer and didn’t have to pay sales tax. ---
