I thought the luxury tax had been repealed a few years ago. Is this a federal or local tax? Did you negotiate an "out the door" price or just the base price on the car? One advantage of focusing on the OTD price is that this sort of thing is their problem.

I'd look for clarification on this tax. In Arizona our "sales tax" is actually called Transaction Privilege Tax. While it's common for this tax to be passed on to the consumer, the law states it's a tax on the business for the privilige of doing business here. If the seller fails to collect the tax THEY are on the hook for the money whether or not it was collected from the customer.

I'd be careful as calling the customer after a sale and requesting more money for various reasons is a common car dealer scam.
