Saving for a car

Here at Peruzzi Buick GMC, we carry a wide variety of both used and new GMC and Buick vehicles. Buying used is a great way to save money on a high-quality vehicle, but like with new cars, buying used comes with taxes and fees on top of the listed price of the vehicle. Our team of friendly finance experts is happy to share the fees and taxes that you can anticipate when buying a used Buick for sale.

Pennsylvania Tax on Car Purchases

Each state has its own fees and taxes on car purchases, with Pennsylvania being no exception. Any vehicle that’s intended for usage on the highway is subject to the state sales tax because it is considered personal property. In Pennsylvania, sales tax on motor vehicles is six percent, plus any additional local sales tax rates.

Motor Vehicle Understated Value Program

Also known as the MVUVP, the Motor Vehicle Understated Value Program allows the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to tack additional sales tax onto used Buick purchases. This is done if the government determines the sales price to be much lower than the fair market value of the vehicle.

Additional Vehicle Fees

On top of state taxes, there are a few additional fees to anticipate when purchasing a used Buick model:

  • Title fee
  • Plate transfer fee
  • Registration fee
