California Use (Sales) Tax April 16, 2010, 06:06:31 pm Yahoo Message Number: 111891I am in the process of purchasing a used LD registered in CA and I live here also.Does the CA DMV use the Bill of Sale to determine the sales tax?If that price is "too low" does the DMV use a Bluebook value? If so, then where do they get that value from? NADA?thanks

NADA? --- You might find the answers to your questions on this link: http://dmv.ca.gov/vr/topbuysell.htmDefinitely check all this out carefully with the DMV, but, AFAIK, the DMV accepts the sales price at face value, uses the bill of sale to determine the amount of sales tax, and all "fees" are based on the *buyer's* county of residence.Joan
California Use (Sales) Tax Reply #2 – April 16, 2010, 07:39:16 pm Yahoo Message Number: 111898Hi Ted, I have bought and sold cars, motorhomes and travel trailers for personal use in California for years. They have always accepted a bill of sale with no questions asked. Have the seller put "Sold as is, where is" on the bill of sale. They do sometimes send a letter to the seller asking for a confirmation of the sales price, which is no problem as long as the buyer and seller have good memories and a copy of the bill of sale to refer to. The very best, of course, is to buy from a close relative. Then there is no tax. I bought my LD from my daughter so I had a neat combination of low price and no sales tax. She did retain the right to use it from time to time, but that is no problem.Gary, in Chico CA Posted by: "Ted" ted_e_boy Fri Apr 16, 2010 3:06 pm (PDT)I am in the process of purchasing a used LD registered in CA and I live here also.Does the CA DMV use the Bill of Sale to determine the sales tax?If that price is "too low" does the DMV use a Bluebook value?
