I don't buy cars all that often.....so I was surprised when I was gifted a 77 Nova in California, registered it in Washington and was told I had to prove that at some point, somewhere - anywhere - a tax was paid on it.

If I couldn't prove that a tax was paid on it at some point since its manufacture and subsequent transfers and sales....I had to pay Washington State sales tax on it.

Seriously.  It's ridiculous.

I was transferred to Spokan, and registered my car locally. They wanted to tax it. On the original sale price. The car was paid off and was 4 years old.

WA is that way because Ore has no sales tax I guess.

Just crazy.

A 77 Nova? Don't pay the taxes, just throw it away. Seriously.
