Illinois tax for lease buyout

Lined up a RAV4 plug in hybrid XSE with premium package that I’ll be picking up on Saturday. Can anyone confirm if Illinois is like Texas where they tax you on the full vehicle price up front and when buying out the lease?

Illinois taxes like NY, not TX. It isnt on the full price up front.

Then OP’s best strategy is a one-pay followed by immediate buyout.

Negotiate the biggest discount before rebates, regardless, and agree to the max MF markup if necessary

NY taxes upfront on the full lease cost.

TX taxes upfront on the full vehicle cost.

That’s a huge difference.

How does that compare to the deals you have researched here?
