Even trade would be $0 tax.
In Texas, it's 6.25% sales tax on purchase price. New OR used.

I registered my last pricey diesel RV coach I bought in South Dakota. 3.25% sales tax. In Montana, I could have registered it for a flat fee of $450.00 at that time. Oregon? There's no sales tax on registering vehicles - last time I checked.

One of my Brothers lived in South Dakota, so, I used his address when titling the RV. Saved a bundle.

If you've got the time and money to do a little research, you can save too.

FWIW, California takes a dim view of residents registering autos out of state to avoid our massive sales tax and registration fees. Turning a blind eye to that ruins the whole point of going after our money in the first place. Texas seems much more mellow when it comes to letting people do what they want if it doesn't infringe on others, so maybe they don't care.

I think I gotta get out of Kali...

The offer was just too good to be true.
Either whoever made the offer was pulling the OP's chain or he was pulling ours.
