But only when dealing with the state in order to title, register, or in this case get a temporary transit permit.
No private seller that I know of anywhere is required to collect sales tax. The buyer must pay sales tax when registering the vehicle.

But (if I understand this correctly) that doesn't get the OP out of paying FL sales tax.
Sorry, but everything I've ever read is that the buyer IS required to pay sales tax - whether private sale or not.
"One of the most attractive reasons for buying a used car is saving money; however, aside from the lower asking price, you'll still have to pay certain used car taxes and fees. Be prepared for these fees as you budget how much money you can actually spend on your used car."
