Default What is the advantage to Montana plates?

Why do I see more and more exotic and high-end cars running Montana plates? I see DoctaM3 has Montana plates on his Aventador, and I recently saw them on a Porsche 911 Turbo and the guy is definitely not living in Montana. I know people used to use South Dakota or Oregon to avoid tax, but I don't see any such advantage to Montana, and their plates didn't look particularly cheap. Any ideas why?

Wow, very interesting. I didn't know that Montana didn't have sales tax. Now I get it.

Thanks again!

Fairly common among high end motor homes as well. Get caught and the fine is triple what the sales tax amount is - at least here in TN.
