Maybe someone here knows the answer but I inquired about an i8 from a California dealer and they told me if I buy a car from them I have to pay California sales tax. This makes no sense to me being I did purchase my boxster from California back in I think 2006 but maybe things changed

Basically the question is if I buy a car from Cali do I need to pay the sales tax or was this salesman just a dumb dumb
Yeah, I have read the same thing- if you buy a car in CA you have to pay sales tax there. But I think that only applies if you actually take delivery there- if you get it shipped you dont have to pay sales tax there. But, as long as your local sales tax is the same or higher than the CA sales tax it won't matter since you'll get "credit" for what you paid.
