Besides sales tax what are the other taxes / fees while buying a used car in California?

i sell cars in pa but you’ll have to pay tag fees and documentation fees each dealer is different as far as what they charge for doc fees and yes you have to pay sales tax on the car
good luck
You will pay sales tax at the dealership. If you buy it private sale, you will pay sales tax when you register the vehicle.
Yes, you pay sales tax on all transactions.
You’ll also need to pay for the registration, smog certification (if it hasn’t been done).
I dont know. But ask them to give you a Carfax report, or run one yourself to see what the background of the car is. A lot of ” flood cars” ( ie Katrina ) are still being cleaned up and sold, with various related problems. I hope you get a decent vehicle.
