That's right. They'll collect the sale tax on your trade-in when it's sold.

You've already paid the Sales Tax on the Subaru. That would be
double-dipping (like, it's never been done before! ;). So, they are
taking a tax on the actual *Cash* price of the car.

There has always been "double-dipping" in most states when sales tax is collected at
the time of sale for second-hand merchandise.
Most states collect sales tax at the time of sale of any used car. In the case of
collectible cars that may have changed owners a dozen or more times, and gone up in
value over the years, the combined total sales tax can easily exceed the original
cost of the car.
