Hey,
I am in very peculiar situation.
5 years ago when i was NH resident, i bought new car from the dealer in MA. The dealer then didn’t tax me as i was going to register my car in NH. NH didn’t collect any sales tax as there is no such thing in NH and got my registration done. However, 3 months ago i moved to MA and tried to register my vehicle.
MA is now asking me to pay the salestax at the original purchase price and penalty for all these 5 years. I don’t know what i should do now.
If there are anyone who faced similar situation?
What is the solution?
Thanks

If you’re thinking about heading over to an upcoming used car auction, this will be the most important article you’ll ever read. Here’s why.
When it comes to used car auctions, many folks out there aren’t too keen on buying cars simply because they’re afraid they might get ripped off. Sure, things like this do happen, but think of all the great car deals you’ll miss out on, by avoiding going to a used car auction!
Here are 3 simple tips that will help you come out on top at used car auctions:
Tip #1: Have a car dealer accompany you to the auction
You might have noticed that most auctions sell used cars that have been inspected and are open to car dealers only. If you’re keen on visiting such an auction, make sure you get a knowledgeable car dealer to accompany you.
Of course, you can also head over to an auction that displays cars that aren’t inspected, since these types of auctions are often meant for the entire public.
However, more risk is involved because there isn’t a set standard for the used cars being sold. So you do need to be a bit careful before buying one.
Tip #2: Check out the car before immediately going ahead and purchasing it
You’ll find the cars are often sold as is, in most used car auctions out there. This means that neither guarantees nor warranties are offered to the buyer.
So to avoid getting conned by ‘rogue’ car auctioneers, you want to be at a used car auction as early as possible. This way, you can leisurely check out all of the features of the car as well as its overall condition.
Better yet, why not take along an expert on used car auctions. Doing this might not only save you time but also your hard-earned money.
And sometimes, things can happen pretty fast, (e.g. used car auction pros will be impatient to quickly close deals), and if you aren’t very familiar with the whole process, it helps to have an expert on the subject at hand.
Tip #3: Know that all bids are final!
One of the most vital things to keep in mind when buying a car at a used car auction, is that all bids are final once bidding has closed. If yours happens to be the highest bid for a particular model, and if it’s accepted by the seller, then you must pay in cash for the car you’ve bid on.
And depending on the seller, you can expect to pay a deposit of a minimum of five hundred dollars. In case you change your mind later on, you cannot get back your money, because the used car auction has a right to retain your deposit!
You see, this is how it works: the seller sells his car to the used car auction, which is then transferred to you. Even if you decide against paying the full amount, the auction is still obligated to pay the seller. Hence, if you fail to pay up, you can be sued for the entire cost of the car! This is why it’s so important to know what you’re getting into, before going ahead and buying the vehicle.
So the next time you decide to attend a used car auction, keep these tips in mind – chances are, you’ll end up buying a car that will prove to be good value for money!

Car dealer commercial telling comsumers to **** off
Skytide asked:
I just bought a used car and brought it back home. I noticed several things that I asked the sales manager about. The explanations ended up to be false, so he basically lied to me about certain items inside the car. Can I do anything? Please help!
Well for example, I asked him about these spots on the clear plastic piece for the instrument panel. He said it was just from the spray they use for cleaning and it can just be wiped off. I couldn’t get them off at home.
I also bought from an official Infiniti dealer. Does that make any difference?

1.The best advice I can give you is to take your time when looking for a car, and don’t make any rash, emotional car buying decisions.
Every car salesman you come into contact with will have only one thing on his or her mind; to get you to buy a car “today!” These people work under the assumption that you will never come back, so they have to close the deal while you’re in there the first time. for more details visit to www.auction-professional.com .Don’t give into the pressure. Take your time and sleep on it . . . for several nights! You’ll be amazed at how different your perspective will be on a car deal after a couple of days.
2.Don’t let the car salesperson talk you into giving them any deposit before you are ready to buy. If you are paying cash forget about giving them a deposit and just pay for the car in full when you pick it up.
A deposit is nothing more than a means of control to a car sales person. That’s the only reason they ask for one. Once they have your money they can lead you around as if you had a ring in your nose!
And good luck getting it back if the deal goes south! Just tell them “NO!” If they give you a hard time tell them you will go somewhere else to buy a car. This will settle them down! If not, take your business to a dealer who will not put so much pressure on you . . . If you can find one!
If you do give them a deposit . . . after the car deal is finalized – not before . . . if at all possible use a credit card. This way if the deal falls through and they won’t return your deposit you can get it back through your credit card company.
3. Do as much research on the internet as you can. Visit the car price quotes sites I have listed at: New Car Price Quotes. In addition to getting price quotes you can research all the different makes and models. Once you decide what you want to buy you’ll have to visit a car dealer to see and drive the type of car you’re interested in.
Just tell the car salesman up front that you are there to narrow your choices and that you are not buying yet. He’ll still pressure you to buy right away, but just stick to your guns and don’t be pushed into anything. For more information logon to www.auction-entrepreneur-kit.com .You’re the one with the money and you are in control. You can always get up and walk out if they push you too hard. Just laugh at them and have some fun with the whole process. Don’t let it stress you out.
4. Once you are settled on a car get the invoice price from the internet. Make sure you do it accurately, accounting for all the options on the car you want. You can get everything you need off of the car’s window sticker; just write it all down including the VIN and take the information home, and figure out the invoice price on the internet at one of the sites listed on the page at the link above. Edmonds is a good place to go. You’ll find their link on the above mentioned page.
5. Also find out what rebates are available. Once you have that information take the dealer invoice price and add about $400 to $500 for dealer profit. Tell the dealer that’s your price. Once they agree on a price with you tell them to figure an out-the-door-price which includes tax and title fees. Take this price and subtract the rebates and this should be what you have to pay for the car. If the dealer won’t cooperate go to another dealer. Sooner or later you will run into a car dealer who will appreciate your business.

My father had stated to work for a car dealer as a sales man. he gets paid min. wage plus commission. the problem is if he makes more from his base pay than his commission they make him pay back the difference. so if he works 60 hours and lets say makes 500$ from his base pay and in sales he only makes 200$ the dealership makes him pay back 300$. i have a problem with this and i think its illegal. please any one with knowledge of this proffesion tell me.
