Maryland's been that way for decades. Theoretically this isn't the case, but
good luck at fighting it. I've paid more in taxes for some vehicles then I
actually paid for the vehicle itself. :-(

The hot news here in Washington (the state) is that "use tax" (a form of sales
tax paid when you first transfer title of a car as the result of a sale) on
cars sold between private parties will no longer be based on what the actual
sales price was if that amount is below the value listed in the state-approved
"red book."
