You don’t pay both sales tax on the upfront amount AND tax on the monthly like that
@AutoCompanion can you confirm how PA taxes are applied?
the 6% tax you’re seeing there is for a retail purchase
Oh it’s motorworld. They’re trash. lease taxation is your sales tax rate + 3% usage tax, so 6% state + county or city + 3%. So 9-11% of monthly payments. Taxation on rebates is an asterisk, but you’ll get ‘close enough’.
It’s not a 20k trade, it’s like 450 in trade equity towards a lease.
Lease - on monthly according to local tax rate + 3%.
Purchase - only the difference between the value of the trade-in vehicle and the purchase price of the new vehicle is taxed.

For my Honda Accord, Carmax paid over 1K higher than Carvana so check their quote out as well if you are near a carmax.
I’ve heard bad things but they have the best offer so far. ($32,747.29 after rebate)
Do you have other suggestions for dealers near them? I’ve spoken with Independence Toyota of Hazleton but they had a worse offer. ($33,999, no discount, and only $500 rebate instead of $1250)
Also, just to make sure I understand what you’re saying… are there no upfront taxes on a lease in this state? (are those $689.84 taxes shown on the form only for purchasing the vehicle?)
When I spoke to the dealer this afternoon he did mention taxes “going up around $400” or something like that.
I really apologize for being so confused and I can’t thank everybody enough for their help with this.
