If you live in East Liverpool, Steubenville, or anywhere in the Ohio Valley, you might think buying a car in West Virginia is a hassle. Different state, different rules, right? Wrong.
At RC Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Newell, WV, we help Ohio drivers every single day. Located just across the Ohio River at 845 Washington St, Newell, WV 26050, we are the area’s “Cross-Border Experts.” We handle the paperwork, the taxes, and the title transfer so you can focus on driving your new Ram 1500 home.
Whether you’re from East Palestine, Beaver Falls, or right here in the Valley, understanding how to navigate this process is crucial. Let us simplify it for you.
The #1 question we get from our neighbors in East Liverpool: “Do I have to pay West Virginia sales tax AND Ohio sales tax?”
Absolutely not.
When you buy from RC Auto Group, you pay taxes based on where you park the car, not where you buy it. Ohio residents must pay sales tax on a motor vehicle that will be titled and used in Ohio, but you won’t pay it twice.
Ohio’s system ensures you don’t pay sales tax twice. It’s that simple. You get the benefit of West Virginia pricing with the simplicity of a local transaction.
Dreading a trip to the Ohio BMV? Let us handle it. As a dealership that serves the Tri-State area (WV, OH, PA), our finance team is certified to handle cross-state titling.
If you’re living in Ohio and buy a car in another state—whether from New Brighton, Beaver Falls, or here in Newell—you must register that vehicle in Ohio within 30 days. We jumpstart this process for you.
In most cases, your Ohio plates arrive right in the mail, or we provide you with the exact packet to hand to the clerk for a 5-minute visit. No guesswork. No headaches.
Why cross the bridge? Because RC Auto Group operates with a “Volume & Value” philosophy that big city dealers can’t match.
Whether you’re looking for a rugged Jeep Wrangler for the trails or a Commercial Ram Truck for your business in Steubenville, our lower overhead in Newell allows us to offer:
You don’t need to go back to an Ohio dealer for service. Our Service Department is staffed by factory-trained technicians who know your CDJR vehicle inside and out.
Q: Are there extra costs when buying out of state?
A: Beyond the standard sales tax and registration fees you’d pay anywhere, the only “extra” might be a nominal temporary tag fee to get you legally on the road. We transparently disclose all fees upfront.
Q: Can I trade in my Ohio car?
A: Yes! We take Ohio trades every day. We handle the payoff and title transfer just like any Ohio dealer would.
Q: What about inspections?
A: We perform a rigorous inspection on all our vehicles. If you live in an Ohio county that requires E-Check (Emissions), we can help guide you on that simple process once you have your plates.
Don’t let a river stop you from getting the best deal. At RC Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we are Ohio’s Favorite West Virginia Dealer.
