Do I have to pay sales tax when I buy a used Boxster from a private seller?

I'm new to LA so I have no idea, I seem to get varying answers from people I ask.

A guy at a used car lot said I would have to pay sales tax to the DMV even if I buy from a private seller. I'm not sure how credible this information is coming from him since have to pay sales tax (about 8% right?) if I buy from a dealer.

Thanks.
