What is it about a car that you are trying to enter? Unless this is a vehicle used for business ---what are you trying to do with the car?
It is just our own personal car.
If the car is in only one of your names the person on the title can enter sales tax that was paid. That will not make any difference in tax due or a refund unless you have enough other itemized deductions to exceed the standard deduction--like mortgage interest.
SALES TAX
You can enter the sales tax you paid for the car you purchased in 2023 by going to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid> Sales Tax. You will be asked if you paid sales tax on a major purchase, and you will be able to enter the sales tax you paid for your new vehicle.
Sales tax is an itemized deduction. Unless you have enough other itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction the sales tax will have no effect on your tax due or refund.
“Major purchases” that you can enter for the sales tax deduction include:
Motor Vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, RV’s, sport utility vehicles and off-road vehicles
Aircraft or boats
Mobile homes
Manufactured housing
Building materials for major home improvements
You cannot deduct: furniture, jewelry, home electronics such as TV’s or computers

States with no sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon
The only deductible thing for a personal car is the sales tax you may have paid (goes on Schedule A as an Itemized Deduction.
I don't know what "it's only his make" means, but the person who has the title to the car gets to deduct any taxes.
