First of all it isn't 30 cents on the dollar but 23 cents.

Secondly, no one has ever said that ALL taxes are already in the price but only those taxes, and costs associated with those taxes, paid by every supplier of every part that goes into that automobile plus those paid by the assembler.

Thirdly, with such things a automobiles, which have a long supply chain, I may well be able to buy the new vehicle and pay the tax on it for less than I could buy the same model built before the change over.

Then, I suggest you go to fairtax.org, click on the FAQs and scroll all the way down to question number 47 (next to last one) where it is stated the retail cost at the counter will be 30 cents on dollar.

Their claim, my friend, not mine.

The $38,000 general figure I used was just a figure of what the sticker price could be. Regardless, a used vehicle will always be less and not taxed under this program. Both figures were just general figures, not actual cost of any vehicle.
