When you drive a car into a state, you are responsible for operating under that state's laws. In this case, you would be subject to both Oregon and California during the trip. You should check each state's laws to determine whether you are able to operate a non-registered vehicle in that state within a few days of purchase.

Some states allow time to register a new car, and some require that a used vehicle be registered immediately. If the vehicle is still registered in the prior owner's name, you may be able to operate it with that registration until you return home.

I'm a Oregon resident buying a car in California Do I owe California sales tax?

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.

What is the state you get to before getting to California?

The answer depends on which direction you are coming from, and what part of California you are going to. There are several states that border California. These include the following: Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon. If you are coming from Texas, for instance, then you will come through New Mexico and Arizona before you get to California. If you are coming from Washington State, you will go through Oregon first. If you are coming from Colorado you could choose to go through New Mexico and Arizona to get to Southern California, or Utah and Nevada to get to Northern California. (California also borders Mexico if you are coming up from South America.)
