Sales Tax On a Used Car - Is It Wrong?

[Anthony W.]

First off - I will state plain and clear - I hate taxes - and yes I AM trying to find a way to get out of paying sales tax on a car - but I am NOT endorsing fraud.

I bought an 07 Ford Mustang 6 months ago - and when I put the agreed value on the form, they charged me 7%.

It's for sale now (14000, South side Indy if you're interested haha) (because I found a Corvette that I'm JUST short of having the money for) and if I get the Corvette - I want to spend the least amount of money possible (because insurance is going to kill me as it is haha)

But then it dawned on me. Seeing as sales tax was payed on the car when it was originally bought - is it not double taxation to have tax payed on it again?
Does anybody else think that is wrong?

I can understand paying the tax if you're buying from a dealer, but I mean person to person - is that not wrong?

And is there any LEGAL way not to have to pay the sales tax? If I put one dollar as the agreed value - the IRS and BMV will be all over me.

Thanks
