Straight across 2 for 1 trade at the dmv, no tax, new truck!
I've bought a few things from private party sellers in WA over the last few years. I know the trick to not pay sales tax when transferring the title to my name at the DOL. I bought my Nash 17k that way as well as the Arctic Fox 992 I bought in August. I saved $3100 on the 992.
Is there a "trick" when buying private party outright?
Besides, affidavit of value or getting a "gift" receipt?
Cause I'm all ears, pay enough taxes as it is and loathe paying tax a second or third time on something that was already taxed.
This transaction was an actual trade, no different than trading your vehicle in at a dealer, and we valued our vehicles the same.
I did get the DOL to add my snowbike kit as a new "brand" of snowmobile, so that I could register the snow part and leave the bike out of the equation (WA had been retitling bikes as snowmobiles even though snowmobiles don't carry titles and then forcing the owners to re-title as a bike if it's used in the summer as an ORV or street legal). That was a win since they had no idea of the value of the kit and the bike never entered the equation!
