Buying out of state to save Sales Tax
Hi All,
Sales Tax in CA is insane around 10%.
I am thinking of buying a Car in Oregon, Register the car in Oregon (I have family that can help me provide Address Proof and forward any mails I get)
I can then drive the car to CA
After a few months I can register the car in CA as a family transfer.
Has anyone done this in CA or any other state, Please share your experience.
PS : I dont want any trolls on how this is wrong.

“Wrong” or not, you are taking a big chance. Also, I’m guessing WA, CA, ID and UT have their antennae up, on transfers coming in from Oregon. It may not be that easy.
