Comon man, can I get an update man. Just one pic man, thats it, just one....

[einstein57]

Show them a picture of the car all cut up to show its not worth blue book. Thats total BS. I thought cali was bad.

Why not "gift" it over to a friend (no tax), register to him, then have him "gift" it back to you?

As far as I understand, vehicle sale tax can be avoided like that in private sales.

[Garageaholic]

You are correct kronus. I've done that several times with E30's in NY. It's easy to get away with that on a 20+ year old car :)

That may or may not work depending on the laws in RI. In Massachusetts, you pay sales tax based on either the transaction price or the Blue Book value, which ever one is higher.

mass has a totally fucked up way they say they get the value, they say they price it on what cars have recently sold for, its complete bull shit, they taxed me 220.58 for my 85 eta.

wtf? I paid $100 sales tax on my 318is. I then had to pay $53.75 in excise tax.
