I purchased a Nissan Altima 2008 on 12/30/11 in NJ where I reside for my niece whose name is also on the contract. My niece had a NJ license at the time of sale but changed her license to PA the next month where she resides and attends college. The dealer was aware, and my niece emailed them a copy of her PA lease.The initial contract was for NJ tax.
But a few weeks later, we were informed we had to pay NJ 7% tax and PA 6% sales tax on car cost. My niece is paying car insurance since date of sale in PA and faxed the dealer the copy of her new PA license. She has not been able to drive the car since 1/19/12 since the tag on the car expired. To date, the dealer has not sent license plates. My niece contacted the Nissan corporate office to complain and investigate delay in license plates and charge for sales tax in two states, NJ and PA. Is this legal? Thank you.
