I would advise that these are being audited now. And I wouldnt report less than 20% below blue book value for trade in price.

You could lie on the paperwork and say that he's paying much less than the actual sale price to save him some $ on taxes, but that would be illegal. A lot of people do that though


I believe DMV checks Blue Book value to find the acceptable price range so don't shave it too much.

Nice to know. What if it's considered an act of donation? Do they still have to pay taxes on the FMV?

Yeah, you can fudge it some, but you can't say it was sold for $3. They will look up the value. Now if it's a 20k vehicle and you say you got it for 18k, might not be an issue.

You can fudge it greatly if you have a mechanic or body shop write an estimate that can justify the lower sales price. I'm just guessing that might work and it's not like I have experience with any such nonsense.

In Alabama, you can't show a bogus bill of sale for thousands less. You pay sales taxes on the current value of vehicle purchased.
