so i've been cube hunting for the past week, and the dealers must be making their own MSRP stickers
just an example, 1.8s
Sacramento - $16,690
Fairfield - $19,800
Vallejo - $15,410
any how the purpose of my post is that dealers are charging taxes on full vehicle amount before the cars discount,
my first attempt at purchasing a cube they DID do it correctly but since they wouldn't budge on the price
(full MSRP & destination) plus the msrp was high, I left
my next attempt they taxed the full price, then subtracted the cars discount (I qualify for $4500 with a 91 explorer)
but since they didn't like my DMV printout for the past 10 years registration,
I am awaiting a letter from DMV specifically showing the 08/09 - current registration
So as I was home, cubeless I tried to figure out what was up with the variable taxes,
CARS.gov says to talk to your state tax specialist
DONE - and I quote
"Rebates paid by the NHTSA to new car dealers under this program are considered sales to the United States Government.
Sales tax does not apply to sales to the United States or it instrumentalities. The portion of the gross receipts from the sale or
lease of a new vehicle paid by the NHSTA, by the use of the CARS rebate, is a nontaxable sale to the United States.

so with all the facts and printout in hand, I checked with a few more dealers,
LOL ,
"no we tax the total value, the government giveth, and they taketh away"
"Yes the whole car value is taxed before the rebate," -well what if I have proof that it isn't-
"no, thats the way it is" - I talked with the California State Board of Equalization about it this morning -
"no, I don't think so" - so I read him the above paragraph,
"um, okay, you have that paper with you? bring it with you and ask for me, Tony"
