Sales Taxes are paid to DMV, based on either depreciated MSRP or a DMV appraisal.

Is it just me, or is "sales tax" intended to be paid based on a percentage of the sale price of an item. Hell, I purchased this car in Danville, CA, shouldn't the seller of the car be required to pay the state of CA sales tax?
At least I didn't get as screwed as my friend Jason's GF. She had a car gifted to her in CA. When she brought it here, even though it was legally registered to her in CA, because there was no record of sales tax on the CA registration, she had to pay sales tax to get it registered here in NV.
The car was already registered to her, in her name, in CA... what the fuck does "sales tax" have to do with anything a year later in NV!?!? They said she could just have the person that gifted it to her sign a new affidavit... nevermind that he gave her the car because
he was moving back to Turkey.
