What keeps people from constantly re-buying their car?

[BuBBa DRiFT]

I was thinking, since my 30 days are soon to be up on my bill of sale, why dont people just sell to a friend, then re-buy it back, would that not restart the 30 days? Discuss.

What would be the point? Its too much of a hassle..

Why not just register it?

I don't know a huge amount about auto dealing in GA but I worked at a couple of dealerships in another state way back in college... wouldn't you then be responsible for sales tax on every transaction? Well, unless you sold it back and forth for a dollar but that's gotta be illegal somehow.

[BuBBa DRiFT]

well, i gotta get emissions and i have straight pipe exhaust, the car was registered in Columbus, so it didn't need emissions. i didn't know that, so now i gotta get it passed, but i don't know if ill be able to do it within the few days i have left. just wondering if it would be a possibility. is there sales tax on private transactions? I've bought a couple cars and witnessed selling of cars privately and never heard of a tax. i do know that after a certain amount of transactions the government gets a little sniffy on what your doing.

is it just private transactions or dealerships too? he bought it from a used car dealer and charged him 200 bucks sales tax

[JennB]

Did this change recently because that is certainly not what they told me when I was at the DMV about 3 months ago.

[OneSlow5pt0]

[Elbow]

Why not buy a stock exhaust, throw it on, pass emissions, and swap your straight pipe back

[southside]

lol i just tell the cops i just finishin paying my brotha off for the car

[BuBBa DRiFT]

if i had a stock one thats what id do, im already looking to borrow one, but everyone around me tossed out or sold their old s13 exhausts. time to make some more calls i guess.

[Elbow]

We have one I think

[Echonova]

Run it through emissions let it fail, then you have another 30 days to fix it (at least that's how it was in Tuscon).

[IndianStig]

what year 240? if its 95 or prior. take it to the station, when testing. ask him to make it pass and slip him a 50.

[BuBBa DRiFT]

ive done it before, he tested my buddy's civic and put my 240 info in the computer

it cost me 120 bucks shit sucks

[Kevykev]

Because the authorities will remember that distinctive red car with "tag applied for" on the rear

push your luck, go ahead :)

[BuBBa DRiFT]

lol, they definately know me, ive been pulled over so much. oh well, i just ask them questions about joining the police force.

[Kevykev]

When I read the thread I instantly knew what type of answer you were looking for ;)

Had nothing to do with taxes or emissions :lmfao:
