Yes, the seller did put the price on the title. I was unaware of the sut1 at the time of purchase. Its alway's been in the Commonwealth of Va. that the amount of monies written on the title was how much you payed for the car. Someone in the DMV thought that the state was getting ripped off for tax money so when you bring an older car that would be consider to be an antique they check the computer blue book and make you pay the least amount of blue book value. in this case it was $16000.00 almost 500.00 in tax. Of course if I was aware of this before I got the car I would have the sut1 in my hand and had the seller sign this. Working nights and standing line 40 people deep and then waiting 40 minutes to get to the counter, I payed the tax and got the sut1 form and will try to get the seller to sign it for me.
