^^^As far as I know, even when you purchase from Private party, you will have to pay a sales tax, or a used tax, when you register the vehicle with the DMV. There is no way around this.

Not true. Here in AZ there is no sales tax on private party vehicle sales. When you go to the DMV you simply pay your annual registration, which is an amount that is calculated based on the value of your vehicle. But it isn't a sales or "use" tax, you pay the registration even if you bought from a dealership and paid sales tax at the point of purchase. So on a high dollar vehicle, buying from a PP rather than a dealer can save you several thousand dollars (9.1% tax on a $45K car is ~$4,000!).

Not here in Arizona. Just the MVD title/reg fees. No sales tax on private party purchases.
