if this applies but here in Florida you get a tax break if you trade in your car. The trick is how much you need on the open market to match your tax break with a trade-in
i.e. Cost of Camaro $36,000 your trade in value $16,000 you would pay a tax on $20,000. If you sell your car outright you would be taxed on the $36,000 and then they take off your down payment.
I think I have this right
