Buying a car in Florida, HELP!!!

[BDR561]

High-Tide is right on the money... Sales Tax collection for out of state purchases falls on if you are driving it out of state or having it transported. There was no statement of your delivery intent.

I am picking it up and driving it home this week. Unless SS COBRA finds out the place is a RIP-OFF LOT!! (fingers crossed they're NOT).

I don't mind paying the sales tax, thats all part of doing business, but I just didn't want to get nailed twice for it. They must've just started doing this within the last couple years. When I bought a car in FT. Lauderdale in 2004 they didn't charge me sale tax. Well, I think we've come to the conclusion I need to pay it and South Carolina will give me a credit for the amount..... Since SC tax is only 5% and FL is 6% I shouldn't owe anything else. hopefully....but you know the DMV...always somethun'!!

it still should not be over 300 dollars total, as that is the max SC charges regardless of car cost

ENTDOC,
I have is feeling it don't work that way, unfortunately. I will call SC DMV in Columbia Tomorrow to make sure though.
