Bought a used vehicle (non-Porsche) about 8 months ago. The vehicle had some problems which both the seller and I knew about, so I got it for significantly less than its retail value..."as is."

I just received a letter from the State of WI saying they were performing a "vehicle use tax audit" and noticed the amount I claimed/paid tax on the vehicle was significantly less than the "average retail value" and asked for a copy of a cashier's check used to pay for the vehicle, or an "official" bill of sale. They also said if I do not submit one of these, they will charge me the tax at the full retail value of the vehicle!

Well I paid cash, and the bill of sale I have is little more than a hand written sheet saying only the year/model and "as is"...nothing official at all.

Any advice on how I should handle this? Any lawyer types out there who want to comment?
I have 30 days to reply.

Thanks!
Nick.
