BTW, how is this not double taxation? And how the fuck did dealerships get a loophole that it doesn't count if you sell to them?
Not sure which part you're pointing to as double taxation.

Some states only charge buyers tax based on the difference between trade and new (to buyer) purchase. I think the reasoning is that they paid tax on the original vehicle with the argument that it should only apply at the dealer, as opposed to parlaying proceeds from a private sale to another vehicle purchase, is that the state can easily verify the transactions and their dollar amounts at dealerships and not in private sales. Definitely a benefit to the dealer, but how did they do it? Dealerships spend a lot on lobbying at the state and local level.
