Can the Trade In Value of the Car be used to Reduce Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) amount in Georgia? One salesman told me no because the trade in discount applies to purchases not leases. Another dealer said only partially. My trade in would be about 10k (700 credit toward TAVT) which would be a nice compromise vs the money I lose selling it privately. Would be easier if TAVT does not apply and I can separate the 2 transactions but the extra money towards a lease would be a bonus. Text below says purchase.... ?

How is the trade-in value determined?
As defined in O.C.G.A. § 48-5C-1, the “trade-in value” is the value of the motor vehicle as stated in the bill of sale for a vehicle which has been traded in to the dealer in a transaction involving the purchase of another vehicle from the dealer.

Thank you.
