Greenville Bill of Sale — FAQs
Why do people come from North Carolina and Georgia to buy cars in Greenville, SC?
South Carolina's Infrastructure Maintenance Fee is capped at $500, regardless of vehicle price. North Carolina charges 3% highway use tax with no cap, and Georgia charges 6.6% with no cap — making SC substantially cheaper for expensive vehicle purchases.
Are there BMW certified pre-owned vehicles available directly from the Greenville/Spartanburg area?
Yes. The BMW plant in nearby Spartanburg means dealer inventory of BMW vehicles is strong in Greenville. For private-party sales, the same $500 IMF cap applies regardless of whether it's a BMW or any other brand.
Do I need a South Carolina address to take advantage of the $500 IMF cap?
Yes. The IMF applies when you register the vehicle in South Carolina. You must be a South Carolina resident to register the vehicle here and benefit from the cap.
