when registering a car, Texas wants the original bill of sale from the dealer...and of course dealers are not going to give you a blank bill of sale....ideas??
its not like the old days when you can tell them you paid $500 for a car

nope, private sales are even worse-- they type your VIN into their computer and use a presumptive value...like from KBB or something...doesn't matter what your paperwork says.

I almost bought an 08 TL-S in Georgia and NY tax was an extra 1624, no real way around it unless you lease and then it's only half, if you have any friends or family in other states then register for a new license in that state

have a friend thats a dealer, have him buy the car whole sale and you pay for the car and he sells you the car for 3k a few months later in the mean time you roll on a dealer plate and yes you can insure a car even if its not registered.
