Can't pay only the difference in taxes if you do it your way.

Good thinking though.
Ahhh, yes. I did not think of that! Well, at least you got a nicer car

Default Sales Tax
In California you pay taxes on the price of the new car. In Los Angeles the sales tax is 8.25%. It does not matter if you have a trade in or not.
