CA Taxes
Being an ex-Californian (for only 5 years), there is no way you can avoid paying the CA taxes unless you want to take the chance and keep it registered out of state, with out of state plate(s), out of state insurance, and out of state residency. (All of this is illegal, by the way.)
Just buy it out of state, pay the b**tards their taxes in CA, and enjoy your new ride!
