Do You Need to Pay Purchase Tax When Buying a Used Car?

[AthenaLee]

If the original owner has paid the purchase tax, the used car you buy does not need to pay it again. If the purchase tax was not paid when the car was new, then after the used car transaction, the new owner needs to pay the remaining purchase tax. Here are the details for selecting a used car: 1. First, check whether the car has oil leaks by lifting the vehicle and inspecting the chassis and engine. 2. Check the color of the engine oil. Start the car for three to five minutes, then insert the dipstick, pull it out, and wipe it dry with a tissue. If the oil is black, it is not recommended for consumers to purchase. 3. Make a preliminary judgment on the sound of the engine. If the engine makes loud noises during operation, it is not advisable to buy such a used car. 4. Inspect the car's craftsmanship by checking the interior for any unusual odors, whether the seats show signs of aging, and if the wiring ports are loose. 5. Examine the car's exterior to see if the paint is smooth and determine whether the glass is original.
