Their policy was that the only way Florida sales tax would not be due was if the dealer shipped it to NH because that would not constitute me taking possession of the car in Florida. I think that is legally correct. I am sure they were making money on the shipping too.
That must have changed because we bought two cars in Fl and had them shipped to NH and didn't have to pay sales tax.
