Does this concept (pay huge downpayment and then buy it out to lower sales tax) work even in CA? I read online that CA charges sales tax on the sticker price (MSRP) and does not consider the incentives, rebates, discounts or down payments made.
In general also, I would like to know if CA charges sales tax on the capitalized cost or the MSRP, if I decide to buy out immediately.
Thank you for your help.
