Vehicle totaled – Do I pay sales tax on new car?

Chris asked:

I recently totaled my Lexus LX470 (other driver at fault) and am waiting for insurance to check out the vehicle (not declared totaled yet, but very clear that it is). My car had an agreed upon value of $26,000 and I am going to soon buy a new car. When I purchase the new car, will I have to pay sales tax, title fees, etc? Is the sales tax that I have to pay assumed to be included in my $26000 settlement or will I have to later seek reimbursement for my title, tax, and licensing? I live in Pennsylvania, insurance is Chubb.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hollywood video movie rental?

drysac asked:

When i rented a movie a month ago, they said i owed them for an overdue dvd. I told them that i already returned it 2 months ago. I went back a couple of days later to talk to the manager, but she was at lunch. The corporate office (or whoever) sent me a card stating that i need to return the movie.

Some people told me that the overdue fee would be high (like $100), because they could claim possible lost of revenue (other people could be renting this movie). But, isn’t that illegal (that’s why BlockBuster got sued)? Will this stupid thing ruin my credit? Can i buy this movie from somewhere else and just give it too them?

Thanks in advance.

If a used car is purchased in AZ, do sales taxes need to be paid on the car?

Viv asked:

If sales taxes had already been paid when the car was new, do they need to be paid again? I know on used car sales between private parties no sales tax is assessed, but how about on a used car purchase from a dealership, i.e. Nissan, Ford, etc..

I have seen sales tax returns for car sales, and to my understanding, resale/wholesale is non-taxable, for sales tax purposes.

Thanks in advance for your help.
AND WHY DOES THIS APPLY FOR DEALERSHIPS???
