I am wanting to buy a 2003 toyota from a toyota dealer in San Francisco. I am planning to fly down and pick it up. He is claiming that because I am picking it up and not having it shipped I have to pay California state tax. You and others have said that is not the case. Is there a tax exemption form or something I can point them to.

Thanks
I dont know about a specific form, however, in my experience, the fact that I am buying with an out of state address, driver's license, and most importantly, am not titling the vehicle in CA, has been enough to not pay tax. I am confident that they are not required to charge sales tax to out of state buyers, however, I dont have a link to a specific piece of legislation, etc. You will just need to convince them.
