Money saver: Arizona taxes the price minus your trade-in. On a $35,000 car with a $15,000 trade, you pay Duncan's 8.1% on $20,000, not the full price.
Delivery: pick up at the dealership for a full walkthrough, or, where the dealership delivers, have the car brought to Duncan once the paperwork is verified; any delivery charge is shown on the car before you sign. Either way the sales tax is the selling dealership's city rate, wherever in Arizona you take delivery; pickups sign at the dealership, and a delivered car is signed with the dealership: in store, by mobile notary at your door, or remotely, as it offers.

Lease
To see a lease, pick a vehicle. A lease is priced on one car: what it is expected to be worth at the end (its residual) and the leasing company's money factor change by model and by month.
An estimate on the numbers you type, not an offer of credit or a quote from any dealership. Starting loan rates are Rateous's rates for each credit range and term; they are not an offer from any lender. The documentary fee starts at an example figure, the state's legal cap where it has one or $599 where it does not, not any dealership's fee; each dealership sets its own. Taxes and state fees are estimates for Duncan, AZ; the dealership's paperwork and your motor vehicle agency have the final numbers. Nothing you type is sent, saved, or used to check your credit.
The combined sales tax rate for a vehicle purchase in Duncan is about 8.1%. In Arizona a trade-in reduces the taxable amount, so you pay tax only on the difference between the price and your trade-in value. Rates change over time, so treat this as a close estimate.
How much are taxes and government fees on a $48,000 car in Duncan?

What is the Vehicle License Tax (VLT) in Arizona?
Arizona charges a Vehicle License Tax with registration: for a new vehicle it works out to about $1.68 per $100 of base MSRP the first year, and it shrinks each year as the assessed value depreciates. The Broker Black includes an estimate of it in every payment quote.
