Well, f you're including taxes and fees, it wasn't a $14,000 car to begin with. Also, the tax scales with price, so getting $8,000 off results in a similar percentage decrease in sales tax. (I also don't see why this matters unless you're comparing one car's price pre-tax with another car's price post-tax, which you shouldn't be anyway).
