Purchase Can-Am from private seller. Can seller declare $1000 to safe buyer sales tax

Dont do it. I did this once in the state on ND, and the state wanted to pursue fraud charges unless I agreed to pay the tax on blue book value of a 6000 dollar vehicle once. And in the state of Colorado, the Revenue Police have taken over, and they will gank a brother in a New York Minute if you try to screw them. I would not do that if I were them. Trust me. Cause once I did it in the State of ND, every vehicle transfer I conducted for 10 years was questioned from that point on too.

I used to deal bikes back in the day, and yep, I took advantage of loose registration policies and policing back in the day too, you cant get away with it anymore. Besides, its bad kharma....

In Californication where I live now they tax over and over and over and then again!

That's because the states going broke.

You all ought to come to Arizona..... But not in the summer. It's 112F now and too hot to do much riding this time of year. But private sales between two people are not taxed by the state. Arizona gets it's bite out of the apple when a vehicle is sold new or sold used by a licensed dealer. Even if a used vehicle is sold by an out of state dealer, Arizona will collect sales tax at the time of registration. So the only time we're taxed here on a used vehicle is when there is a dealer involved..... Jim

Now that's a state I can live in.
