but it isn't earned
 
All citizens (adults) are subject to laws and regulations. All citizens who are subject to those laws and regulations should have a say in who gets to make the rules. Anything short of that resembles tyranny. Suggesting that one should "earn" the right to vote is a nonstarter.
 
In any case, we should make an effort to get back on topic.

Here's a pretty good website from the State of Texas on private party sales tax -
 
Apparently the state got tired of people declaring that that famous $1.00 sales price for a used car, and started collecting sales tax on the standard presumtive value of the vehicle, based on (Kelly, Edmunds TMV, Smoke Signals?) but still a good place to get a snapshot of what your car is really worth.
 
The site allows you to enter a VIN and the odometer reading on a car and get the "Standard Presumtive Value" of the vehicle.
 
Interesting reading, but - caution! - it can be depressing.

I'm guessing that you forgot to supply the link.

I live in Los Angeles, where the sales tax is about to go up to 10% on April 1st. It is currently 8.25%. Does anyone know if the sales tax on my lease will go up if I close the deal by the end of March?

If the lessor buys before April Fools Day, the ST is whatever is in effect at the time of that purchase.

If you pay tax on the payment each month, then your tax rate will go up.

Wasn't the ST paid by the Lessor before 1 April 8.25%? Thus his cost of leasing is based on 8.25% because the Lessor bought and paid for the car before 1 April.
 
How does it work out the Lessee has to pay 10% after 1 April?

I believe the customer is responsible for the sales tax so the lessor would not have paid it. Otherwise, it would be similar to a dealership paying sales tax for "buying" from the manufacturer. Perhaps one of the salespeople can help us out on this one?
