I'm not insinuating everyone or even anyone actual pays Sales Tax, but I can't find anyplace in the laws or regulations that exempt a used golf cart. If you buy one from a dealer, you surely have to pay sales tax ... where does the supposed exemption come from, for "private sales" ?

Low Speed Vehicles - Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

Chapter 320 Section 01 - 2021 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate

What transactions are subject to the sales tax in Florida?
If it was street legal, then the buyer would have to register it and pay sales tax but if it isn't street legal, it is a private sale, no different than if you buy it at a garage sale. Do you pay sales tax if you buy something at a garage sale? I doubt it!
