AZ sales tax - consignment purchase

Question

I am researching my first RV purchase.

AZ does not charge sales tax on private party vehicle transactions... in state or out of state.

An in state consignment shop is required to charge sales tax when an AZ resident makes a purchase.

But what about an out of state consignment shop like pplmotorhomes? If the title transfer is from the private party to me, then the transaction might qualify as a private party transaction.

I am sure someone has been through this and could shed some light on this for me.

Thanks

Mike

A consignment sale is a consignment sale. Be it on the moon or setting in your yard it is being sold commercially not a private sale.

Our last 5r purchase was a Colorado consignment.
When the coach was brought in on consignment, the old owners were required to transfer the title to the dealer, which in essence, made it a dealer purchase, and we had to pay Az tax when we registered it.
That is our only consignment purchase. Your mileage may vary :)

Thanks for the responses.  I didn't know how the title was handled.  Now it is clear.
