That really doesn't make much sense to me.
When a dealer purchases from another dealer, the sold price isn't even noted on the title. In the spot where the price is listed, it's marked RESALE.
With this, I can't see where they would be able to get any of the tax breaks referred to.
In order to get the tax break, you have to show a bill of sale and the transfer of the vehicle to an individual.
