from South Dakota... I bought a 1959 Sprite for $200. That was the asking
price and I nearly ripped a hole in my pocket reaching for the cash. At the
courthouse, I presented the title and bill of sale. The gal got out a CPI
book, and knowing where she was going, I said:" You won't need that, it's not
for sale". "Oh, I don't want to buy it, I have to see if you paid enough and
then charge you sales tax on what it should have sold for".
I replied that the bill of sale was a legal document and if she thought the
previous owner and I were in collusion, she should call the deputy and have me
arrested, otherwise, she had to recognize it. "I'll have to ask" she said and
went to the rear office. She came back and said:" Just this once"

mileage is whatever you, the owner, attests that is. Under penalty of fraud.
