Buying a car out of state sounds like a smart way to save, but one Chicago-area resident ended up paying sales tax twice—almost $3,000 extra—because the dealership in Texas messed up the paperwork. Illinois still wanted its cut, even though the tax was already paid in Texas, and they even seized his state tax return! Only after a local news team got involved did the dealership agree to refund the money. If you’re thinking about buying a car outside Illinois, double-check the tax forms or you could get stuck in the same mess. Has anyone else run into this kind of headache? #Cars #Chicago #CarBuying
