I wouldn't be surprised to find that Calif is going after SPF owners for that very reason. The value of the car CAN be "nailed down".

Ernie,
You hit the nail on the head !!! The market value of a Superformance is consistent and well-established. Anyone who has the money to buy a new $50K+ SPF and resorts to chicanery to evade the sales tax is, IMHO, a damned fool. Your a$$ is grass once the government gets hold of the Bill of Sale, bank checks, etc.
We're talking about a "toy" here, a luxury item. IMHO, the reward does not justify the risk (prosecution, possible jail time, loss of job and reputation, and putting the family through hell). Personally, I'll suck it up and pay my taxes. At least I know I'm setting a good example for my kids. That's kind of important in this day and age.
Knowingly committing and/or encouraging tax fraud is just plain STUPID. That is all, over, and out.
Y'all take it easy now, Brett
