Okay I think i figured it out... it basically means that I pay 6.25% if I buy from a dealer (which is like $250), or $25 if I buy from an individual. that BLOWS donkey balls.

Most likely, the private seller and your friend worked out a deal where they put a lower amount on the title, thus lowering the taxes. Happens all the time. Not that it's legal, but it happens all the time.
