This may be the wrong place to ask this, but has anyone had any experience with the following. I know I've heard of it, but can't find any details: ---You are buying a new car from a dealer and selling your current car privately. In one sitting, you, in effect, sell your old car to the dealer, who then sells it to your private party. The dealer is effectively a very short-term middleman, and you reap the tax benefit of a trade-in.--- And when this is done, does the third party have to pay sales tax, even though he wouldn't have to if I just sold it to him without the dealer in-between? I don't want my buyer paying more than agreed upon. I am in Maryland btw. Thanks! to anyone who can help, or direct me to more info before I ask my dealer about it.
