Pretty much, I bought a 09 Honda fit for $300 when I told the lady filling out my stuff she's like "it's alright you can make it whatever price you want" but I actually bought it for $300 lol

This is true, but if your stated price is far below market value, they can refuse and investigate. That's why you tell them that it is in need of major repairs, engine or trans 😏

My old roommate thought it needed a transmission but I ended up just filling it with fluid because it had a slow leak at the axle seal, I guess he never checked the transmission fluid. Cosmetically it looked beat, not a car wash in 10 years

If the purchase price is too low it may flag something. They expect an "arms length" transaction when calculating sales tax.

I have never stated more than state minimum for private party car purchases.
