You shouldn't have to pay sales tax twice I would think. Maybe things are different in Calif. I know lot's of things are.
WTH!!!... fireamx you don't have to pay tax twice man. I sell cars in WI and sold many cars to people in MI you do however have to take your purchase contract to your county seat "courthouse" and pay the tax on your purchase there...you pay taxes only where YOU live whatever the going rate is.
they guy who told you that was misinformed or just a bonehead.
