Yes, you would pay California tax if you bring the car into the state within a year of having purchased it anywhere else.
Yes
No. However, be sure to have proof of Oregon residency (a drivers' license should do) when buying the car so the dealership can prove that you were not required to pay sales tax.
Sorry no. The state of California does not care where you live normally. if you buy it here you pay state sales tax.
I only know about Oregon law and you won't be able to register the vehicle with the Oregon DMV unless you can find someone with an Oregon address to assist you in lying about your residency. I don't think it will help you anyhow. You could get fined in California for not having your car properly registered in California and we all know California needs money right now! Plus it depends on how California goes about collecting it's sales tax, so there may be no getting around it. A lot of states ask for a sales receipt even if you bring it in from out of state. Maybe someone who knows California law can give you an answer from that perspective.
I just called the California DMV and asked this same question. To avoid the CA sales tax you need to either; 1. Flat bed the vehicle out of California and then register it in Oregon or 2. Have the dealer deliver it to you out of the state of California. (I'm thinking of having it delivered just across the border in Ashland.) Essentially, you can not operate the vehicle in California before it gets registered in Oregon. When I asked this question of auto dealerships they were totally confused. You will need to educate them . . . lol.
No. You only pay sales tax if it's a California company in this case.
Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased. When moving to California you didn't have to pay sales tax on all your other possessions, did you? You'll probably have to pay a tax on the car's value when registering it in CA. Probably not. You paid sales tax in Oregon when the car was purchased.

No.California might try to force you to, but you are technically required only to pay the sales tax of the state in which you are a resident.This is a common issue on the Washington-Oregon border. Washington has no income tax. Oregon has no sales tax. Washington residents near the border often make "big ticket" (furniture, cars, etc.) purchases in Oregon to avoid Washington sales tax. Washington sales tax agents hang out in the parking lots of Oregon furniture stores looking for Washington license tags.GOTCHA!
you pay tax for the state in which you will be registering it.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, unless you are buying it for resale, then you must provide a tax exempt number from your business.
No, just show proof of residency of Oregon and you are set to go! They do how ever charge sales tax on food "services" and other "services" like oil change and other "services".
