Default Buying a car in Florida, HELP!!!
Maybe someone has a DEFINATE answer to my question.

I won a car on eBay that is on car lot in Florida. I live in South Carolina. When the man sent me the final total, it was about $700 higher (on a $13000 sale) than my final bid. He claims that he has to add sales tax. I said I am not from Florida, and SC requires I pay the sales tax when I register the car in my state. He said all that changed recently and he is required by LAW to charge me. He says I will get a receipt for having paid and my state will not charge me (unless SC sales tax is higher that FL's....in that case I would be liable for the extra %).....
IS HE FULL OF IT AND TRYING TO SCAM ME,.. or is this right???
Thanks
RZ
