Default "trade" cars ?

what is the procedure for trading cars ? can you simply swap title with the other owner in front of a notary?

My state, PA, is a title state. I swapped cars about eight years ago and did it at the notary. I was surprised and pleased that neither of us had to pay sales tax.

In Ky the party getting the higher priced car pays the difference in tax.

Florida, no tax on a trade.

Steve, I traded a truck (Florida) for an f body from Indiana and just paid the transfer fee, no tax.

I'm sure every state is different though.

Thats because it was assumed "equal equity"
Its sad that the Government insists on retaxing money that was already taxed, at least once
