I nearly bought a car from cali and would have driven it home to WA. They told me that if the car is driven off of the lot onto public CA roads then you must pay CA sales tax. Then when I registered it at home in WA I would pay the difference (wa is 10%). If it were trucked out of CA, even to the other side of the border, then I did not have to pay CA sales tax.

I don't know how that works for you since your tax is less than CA.
