The “market price” thing for charging sales tax is a total scam. Thankfully Florida doesn’t do this. On Florida titles there is a place for listing the selling price and that’s what you’re taxed on. You can also provide a bill of sale, but they go by what’s on the title. When I sell a car

Anybody heard of this method for getting a title to an old car that you may not have a title to?  This seems like a much easier and cheaper alternative to trying to get one thru Oklahoma for example, or if a car has been off the road for many years, and if it is titled in the state of OK for
