In Texas if you trade in a car then you don't pay taxes on the amount that was traded. For example if the brand new car is $25K and your trade in is $5K you pay tax on $20K instead of $25K. Hope this helps, also find out your payoff before going to the dealership.

Thanks as this is helpful.

My experience with nissan is that if you get the deal you are looking for in the purchase price, they low ball you on the trade-in.

Pa is the same as Texas so it's important to get as high a trade-in as you can to lower the sales tax pay out which is 6% in Pa.
