The issue of sales tax was mentioned earlier in this discussion. it is worth researching to know where you stand in any given state. Here in Arizona there is no sales tax in any private party transaction. That would represent a serious savings over buying from a dealer and paying around 8 percent.

Base Registration Fee: $8 + $1.50 air quality research fee + vehicle
license tax (assessed value of 60% of the MSRP -
reduced by 16.25% each year).
So, Arizona may not get the sales tax, but they DO get you to pay a large registration fee.
Do you pay sales tax buying car private seller in Arizona?
Yes, you will pay tax on the purchase of the used car. However, you do not pay tax to the private owner at the time of the sale. You pay tax to the DMV when you transfer the title and register the vehicle.
So, you DO PAY, just not at time of transaction. Doug
