It is inherently unequal though. Not every community gets a dealership, especially poor neighborhoods. But they do have car purchases. If sales were online, and sales tax distributed by purchaser addresses, the tax revenue would be much more broadly spread out.

You're discovering the regressiveness of the sales tax.

Instead of a sales tax, let that person spend that money on other products and services. And to raise revenue, use a progressive tax such as income.
