The sales tax is a real mystery. When I registered my Lister it was brand spanking new and I was not charged any sales tax at all. I even showed them some of my more major receipts for the car, engine, trans, etc. Others have not been so lucky so maybe at times the staff does not fully understand the process and flips a coin to determine if tax applies or not (their version of the lottery). Although I did register mine in Mesa and I know that branch has done a ton of Cobras in the past. Anyway it is all a piece of cake and should not really be much of a problem. By the way the law does state that wipers are required (open top car and wipers?) but mine had none and they did not even mention it. I did have a clamp on wiper in the trunk just in case but it was not needed. Good luck.
