In VA, you pay sales tax on a car anyway you go, whether it's sold or 
given away.   The buyer pays the tax in order to get a title, which 
has its own price.  ;)    The law stipulates that the vehicle has a 
pre-set value as for sales tax purposes regardless of how low the 
selling price actually is.

VA charges you a 3% sales tax on motor vehicles when you title one in 
your name, based on 3% of the sale price or 35 bucks, whichever is higher.

Give someone a car, you still pay a 35 buck sales tax.    By the way, 
a Corvair in Virginia is property tax-exempt.   You pay that sales 
tax and that's the last of it.
