Avoiding the sales tax.

Actually it was Ohio State that screwed up when they issued a Title in your name without collecting tax. How did that happen? I purchased several out of state cars (new & used) and never managed to escape the tax man.

The ohio dealer arranged it without any imput from me... he shipped me the car with temporary ohio plates and the state of ohio sent me a title

I had the opposite problem...I bought my Viper when I lived in South Carolina, where there is no sales tax on cars for me. Then I got transferred to Virginia. Everything goes well, until I try to register all my cars here. They tell me that since I bought them all within the last year, unless I can show proof that I paid sales tax to the state I am moving from, I have to pay VA sales tax on all of them. Of course, I can't show proof, since I didn't have to pay sales tax in SC. Needless to say, the Viper stays registered in SC, and I make the annual trip there to renew my registration. As an added bonus, VA can stick their front license plate up their ass.

No sales tax on cars in SC? I can't even imagine the money I would have saved the past two decades living there. NICE!
