The United States acquired California from Mexico for $15 million as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War. This payment translates to approximately $1.25 per acre, considering California's size of about 12 million acres at the time.

Do you have to pay sales tax to register your car in California if you bought it in Oregon?

My wife went through this today. We purchased the car in New Mexico and paid sales tax there. We are not in California and she went to register her car and was charged almost $1500.00. They claimed that this was the difference between the sales tax paid in New Mexico and what she would have paid in California. Also, they would not accept payments and would not accept credit card. It had to be paid cash, up front. So your answer is YES. At the same time, why is California 10% higher than New Mexico?
