Newbie has a question

[Dorn Hetzel]

I'm not sure about different states, but when I bought my 77FC35 from
a guy in Alabama, I drove it home and went down to the tag office, and
they only charged me registration, not sales tax. Someone there told
me they weren't charging sales tax on used vehicles, but I don't know
if that's a policy or a mistake...
