But Washington SHOULD give you 'credit' for the CA tax you pay. You will not get a refund if CA is higher, but you should not get double dipped.

This maybe so but when I was last checking about a year ago when I bought my M I checked with the Washington state DMV and they stated they would not credit California sales tax. Not sure if they closed the loophole but makes sense from the Washington state perspective.
