I'm sure it varies from state to state.

But, in the ones I know of, that would technically be illegal. You bought the car, and you owe the state the sales tax.

But it's done all the time.

Most state titles have spots to put in the buyer's name, address, etc. on the title when it is signed over. If the seller does that, as he is supposed to, you really can't "skip" over yourself in a sale.

But if the seller left the "buyer" information blank, you could get away with it.

I suppose if you sell the car, your buyer might be a little nervous with the fact that you are the seller, but it's not your name on the title, though. It would give me some pause.
