Tips on Buying Cars: Purchasing a car, purchasing a car, alison


Question
Do you know if you buy a car out-of-state, if you have to pay the taxes in their state and yours?
Thanks

Answer
Unfortunately you will have to pay taxes when you register the car, but only for the place you register it... Tax here is 7.5%, if I bought a car in georgia (zero sales tax), i still have to pay that 7.5% when I get a tag here in florida.  In short, you just pay for the area you register the car, not twice.  Thanks!
