CA insists on dealers collecting the CA sales tax for any car picked up in CA regardless of where the buyer is from... some dealers will drive the car to NV or OR border or ship the car and fill out a Form BOE 448... it is a hassle for all parties. If out-of-CA buyer arranges shipping CA sales tax still must be collected... Publication 34 "Motor Vehicle Dealers"

This depends on the laws of the two states you are dealing with. People used to try to get around paying sales tax by purchasing vehicles in states other than where they live. This has been halted in most states by requiring people to pay sales tax in the state they live in when they register the vehicle. In many states this also applies to vehicles purchased from individuals, which used to be free from sales tax as well. Usually a car dealer would not collect sales tax on a vehicle purchased by a buyer who lived outside the state where you buy it, because dealers normally do not collect tax and file reports for other states besides the one they do business in.
