Actually looks like MOST states DO ALLOW this to happen, as I originally stated:

http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinf.../tx96_116.html

the list goes on...just try google.

looks like Virginia is one of the few states that does not do this, but its likely because you only pay 3% tax whereas most states charge 7-9%


Washington State does the same thing. Only California charges tax twice (that I know of) I don't even know how California gets away with it. That is double taxation. Why? You already paid tax on the price of the original car. Every other state you get a tax credit on your trade.
