Trade-in credit after buying a car from private party?

I want to buy my friend’s car and sell mine to a dealership.

Can I sell my car to a dealership and then use the trade-in credit to reduce sale tax of a private party Purchase?

Lol, nope.

You can ask the dealership if you can buy your friend’s car through them while selling your car. I don’t think they will agree but you can give it a try.

They’d do it for money. But that would probably destroy all the savings.

I agree. He can tell them to charge him they dealer fee (unless he is in FL) both sides will be happy. I’m guessing they both live in the same state.
