A note about sales tax: The sale of a car is taxed at 7% in NJ, very few residents are taxed at half that rate which is 3.5% because they live in areas which qualify for the reduced state tax rate (example: Vineland and Millville in Cumberland County).
New Jersey's Sales Tax By The Numbers: New Jersey has a higher-than-average sales tax, including when compared to states that allow localities to collect sales taxes (New Jersey does not). New Jersey has a statewide sales tax rate of 6.875%, which has been in place since 1966. Unlike many other states, New Jersey doesn't allow municipal governments to collect a local option sales tax. Therefore, sales tax rates will be the same across the entire state.
