Oh how sweet and utterly deserved. As they would say in the on-line gaming world: owned!
Personally, 50P was too cheap and shrieked too much of hurt and revenge. OTT. She'd have had the same instant response for £118, and that would have been meaner.

More interesting to me is the question whether the tax authorities charged only on the 50p sale price or on the book value of the car. (Do you guys have to pay sales taxes or transfer taxes on used car sales?)

Tim Haas,
(Do you guys have to pay sales taxes or transfer taxes on used car sales?)
No. Sales Tax (or VAT as it is known here) only to applies to sales of new vehicles.

No, it just shows the "registered keeper", and a note says "The Registered Keeper is not necessarily the legal owner".

Have a look at the last item she bought as well. Looks like the husband was less than satisfactory in more than one way!
