Default Lease Buy-Out. and State Taxes/Registration

Gents,
When you buy out your lease via financing the Buy-Out value...what are you required to pay in State Taxes/Registration? Are you required to pay the taxes for the full buy-out amount?

Default Yup! When lease ends, I have to register the car in my name

(title also has to be transferred to me). State then taxes me on the buyout amount.

Default yes, you are only paying tax on your payment, so no matter when you buy it out you get taxed fully

your buy out when you call already has tax in it BTW

Default That assumes you "own" the car and not the bank correct?

Thus if you have a loan on the car the title is in the name of the "bank" and not you right?

Like a lease right?

Default No...either way, YOU pay the taxes.

If you take out a loan, the title is still in your name, but your bank is listed as a leinholder. The bank does not own your car, they own your a$$, and if you don't pay, THEN they get the car, because they have been listed as a leinholder.

From a tax standpoint...as far as the state is concerned, you are the owner, and you pay for sales tax.

Ahhh...interesting...but do you pay the taxes in one "lump" sum or just part of the loan?

Default Lump sum, but, some banks will loan you 110% of car's value.

This helps you to cover the cost of taxes and roll it into the loan. This is more common with new cars, and very uncommon on a used car loan. In any event, the state gets their money up front, and they don't care where you got the money.
