I work for a Z dealership In southwest louisiana, and the taxes are based on where you live not where you buy it from "when buying cars" if you buy merchandise over the counter you will pay the local and state taxes for that place. Your family members that dont pay taxes in oregan probably pay for them cash if you pay that way you can choose to pay sales taxes later. If you cross to another state in order to have your car legaly lincensed you must pay the sales tax of that state. So if you live in LA and buy a car here you will pay 4% state taxes, if you move to AR you will have to pay an additional 5.6% sales taxes in order to legalize your car in that state.
thats how it works
