What Fees Should You Pay?
Looks like New York has a Y in the trade-in column for taxing trade-ins, so out of luck just like me!
Of course, the fact that the Virginia line appears completely wrong is a bit worrisome... maybe you should just check the NY DMV site.
Checking further, looks like they might be wrong for New York as well:

Quote:
As a seller, when you accept something as a trade-in and reduce your selling price accordingly, sales tax is only due on the reduced price after subtracting the credit for the trade-in, as long as you plan to resell the trade-in item. This is most common with sales and purchases of motor vehicles.
Example: A customer comes into your car dealership and decides to buy a vehicle from you for $22,500. You agree to take the customer’s current vehicle as a trade-in and give him a $4,500 credit for his old vehicle. You would calculate the taxable amount of the sale as follows:
Original price $22,500
Trade-in -4,500
Sale price subject to tax 18,000
Again, this is only true as long as you plan to resell the vehicle being traded in, and the trade-in allowance is being applied as partial payment for the item being purchased.
