Default Question to whom had trade in experience

The question is:

Say I trade-in a $15K old car for a $35K new car. The difference is 20K. When the dealer charges tax, do I pay tax for 35K or 20K? Does dealer pay tax on the $15K trade in?

Yea, you pay tax on the purchase price of the car.. they treat the trade is as cash down. The dealer doesnt pay tax on anything.
