From the Motor Vehicle Sales & Use Tax section at http://www.mass.gov

Motor Vehicle Purchases in Massachusetts by Nonresidents: If a nonresident of Massachusetts purchases a motor vehicle in Massachusetts and takes title to and/or possession of the vehicle in Massachusetts, the sale is subject to the Massachusetts sales/use tax irrespective of whether the nonresident intends to use the motor vehicle within or outside Massachusetts.

You have 20 days in which to pay the MA sales tax (6.25 percent in 2012) to avoid penalties and interest, not to mention criminal charges for tax evasion.

Do you pay sales tax on labor in Massachusetts?

The Massachusetts sales tax is 5 percent of the sales price or rental charge of tangible personal property or certain telecommunications services sold or rented in the Commonwealth. (For a detailed definition of "sales price," please see M.G.L. Chapter.64H, Section 1). The sales tax generally is paid to the vendor as an addition to the purchase price. The buyer pays the sales tax to the vendor at the time of purchase; the vendor then remits the tax to the Commonwealth. Hence, the tax is on personal property and rental charges only, not labor. However if labor is a component part of making the personal property, it is then part of the sales price.
