Demand is steady outside the spring peak.
Sales tax on a private sale
No sales tax on private-party sales.
Trading in usually earns a tax credit on the new bike — you pay tax only on the difference — which is worth comparing against the private-party premium. Rules change; confirm with the Nevada DMV.
Transferring the title
Seller signs the title over to the buyer; the buyer applies for a new title and registration at the DMV. A bill of sale is strongly recommended.
