[TR] Interesting times at the DMV

[Kurt Johnson]

What county are you in?  I have transferred titles in Blackhawk, Benton, Cerro Gordo, and Des Moines Counties for more than 40 of my personal cars over the last 20+ years and only once did the County Treasurer question my declared sale price of a car or if the car was given to me free of charge.. every one of the sale prices were  bogus.

Iowa does the same thing to us.  This is to get out of people lying
about the sale price of a vehicle.  Last year my parents gave my wife
an old truck.  We didn't pay a dime for it, but still had to pay Iowa
sales tax on it.
