The provisions of Section 1401 et seq. of this title shall not apply:
1. In respect to the use of any article of tangible personal property brought into the State of Oklahoma by a nonresident individual, visiting in this state, for his or her personal use or enjoyment, while within the state;

In respect to the use of any article of tangible personal property on which a tax, equal to or in excess of that levied by Section 1401 et seq. of this title, has been paid by the person using such tangible personal property in this state, whether such tax was levied under the laws of this state or some other state of the United States. If any article of tangible personal property has already been subjected to a tax, by this or any other state, in respect to its sale or use, in an amount less than the tax imposed by Section 1401 et seq. of this title, the provisions of Section 1401 et seq. of this title shall apply to it by a rate measured by the difference only between the rate herein provided and the rate by which the previous tax upon the sale or use was computed. Provided, that no credit shall be given for taxes paid in another state, if that state does not grant like credit for taxes paid in this state;
4. In respect to the use of tangible personal property now specifically exempted from taxation under Oklahoma Sales Tax Code.

For the purposes of this paragraph, if the sale of a motor vehicle includes a trade-in, the purchase price shall be calculated based only on the difference between the value of the trade-in vehicle and the actual purchase price of the vehicle being purchased. Provided further, the sale of motor vehicles shall not be subject to any sales and use taxes levied by cities, counties, or other jurisdictions of the state;
