I've been told that if you have a new mainland vehicle shipped over Hawaii will make you pay sales tax on it when you register it, even if you paid sales tax in the state you bought it from. Is that true? (I was told some states will allow the dealership to remove the sales tax is there is proof it will be exported to another state, but if somebody doesn't, Hawaii won't honor that a sales tax has already been paid).
Speaking of sales taxes, the supremacy clause in the constitution forbids states from charging sales taxes when people purchase federal government property, so that's another perk to buying GSA auction cars- no sales taxes. No surcharges or even credit card fees either. Of course, one usually has to pay to ship it from Oahu. For some reason they ship all the Hawaii cars to Oahu to be auctioned, even if it originated on the BI. I've seen a few that were located here but they were junkers- I'm wondering if Young brothers wouldn't accept them for transport.
