Basically the question is if I buy a car from Cali do I need to pay the sales tax or was this salesman just a dumb dumb
I know for sure that for a NJ resident, the only sales tax you pay is NJ, where ever you pick it up or if it gets shipped. If you pay the dealer, the dealer will pay the state. If you don't pay the dealer, you pay the state when you register and title. I'd expect the same for NY.
