I wish I'd known you were in town, we could have hooked up, plus I live in Reno and have an address! Still the dealer should not have charged sales tax as long as you gave an out of state (i.e. CA) address.


I know it sounds trivial, but when I purchased my car from P.I. back in '03 it was where you physicially take delivery of the car is what determines the tax. If I recall correctly I could take delivery in California and pay the $2,400 tax, or pay $1,100 for enclosed transport to my door and pay no tax. I chose the latter. Why it works that way in California I have no idea, when I go to Washington all I have to do is show my Oregon drivers license and the tax is waived.
