I think in CA and a few other states don't offer the credit against sales tax from your trade, terrible.

Well, I'm certainly in the group of people unwilling to devote my precious time to dealing with the public in selling my own used cars . . . . .
I don't think that there are that many states that only charge sales tax on the difference between the new car and the trade in. And then, not every occasion for selling a car involves buying one to replace it.
I haven't bought any of my used/classic cars in-state, mostly because people don't generally own the kind of cars I like in Idaho; this is SUV and Pickup country.
