Question type: General

is the tax paid in the state it is sold in or state registered in?

2 Answers

You pay the tax to your state. The dealer should take care of everything for you. All you do is write the check.

As F_O_R said if the dealership knows what they're doing, no need to worry about the taxes. Once your title has been transferred you can register the car in your state.
