I can confirm that it should be just sales tax at currently 6.25% and no extra charges.

Effective August 1, 2009, the Massachusetts sales tax is 6.25 percent of the sales price or rental charge of tangible personal property 1 or certain telecommunications services 2 sold or rented in the Commonwealth. (For a detailed definition of “sales price,” please see M.G.L. Ch. 64H sec. 1.) The sales tax generally is paid to the vendor as an addition to the purchase price. The buyer pays the sales tax to the vendor at the time of purchase; the vendor then remits the tax to the Commonwealth. For motor vehicle and trailer sales, however, the sales tax is paid directly to the Commonwealth by the purchaser. (Prior to August 1, 2009, the tax rate was 5 percent. See TIR 09-11, Change in Rate, Scope, and Computation of Sales/Use Taxes.)

For more detailed information on motor vehicle sales taxes, please call DOR’s Customer Service Bureau at 617-887-MDOR or toll-free in Massachusetts at 800-392-6089.
If you have transportation and don't mind a shortish drive (less than an hour) there is an Apple Store across the border in New Hampshire at Rockingham Park (Salem) http://www.apple.com/retail/rockinghampark/. Note this is Salem, New Hampshire and not Salem, Massachusetts.
