Business ProfileforSheehy Subaru

On Jan 18, 2024, I brought a new car from Sheehy Mazda of Hagerstown. The sales price of the is $40,734 as listed on the Pa application for certificate of title. The taxable amount is listed as $38,216.86 and the sales tax is listed as $2,515.14. The dealer arrived at the sales tax amount by subtracting $40,734 - $38,218.86 = $2,515.14. This is incorrect. The sales tax should be 6% of the taxable amount which is $38,218.86 * .06 = $22,93.13 not $2,515.14. This incorrect sales tax amount was used for calculation throughout the sales document. This inflated the price of the car and the amount that was financed. I reached out to Heather in the business office, and she dismissed me by saying that she will check on it. The next business day she left me a voice mail with a bogus excuse as to why the sales tax is correct. I was taught in school to multiple the taxable amount by the sales tax. Sheehy Mazda is subtracting the purchase price from the taxable amount to get the sales tax. This amounts to steeling from consumers and should not be allowed to happen. Thank you, and your assistance is greatly appreciated.
