Not CA specific, but WA has a similar sales tax issue.

What people will do is arrange to trade in both cars to a dealer and then the other party buys them back at that price, the trade-in credits the value of sales tax back and you only pay tax on the amount over that.

So up here, people will organize the trade with a friendly dealer and give them $500-1000 or so for the paperwork trouble depending on other factors. Goes pretty quick.
