Why buy out of California
I guy I know who lives in California bought a RV and picked in Nevada. I forgot just why he did this, but he saved money doing it. I believe it was a new rig. What is the advantage, lower taxes, lower...

Some of you guys from out of state love to bash California taxes without really knowing what they are.
For starters, the sales tax is 8% to 9% in most jurisdictions. How does that compare to YOUR own sales tax? I know Oregon does not have a sales tax.
Registration cost on a new vehicle is about 5/8 of one percent plus roughly another $100, and then decreases every year. To put it in context, if you buy and register a $50K motor vehicle or RV in California, the registration fee will be around $412 for the first year. How does that compare to YOUR state?
Those of you that live in states without sales or income taxes end up paying much higher property taxes and other fees to make up for the difference. There is no free lunch...and no state is perfect.
When all the various taxes are factored in California is not the highest tax state, but it's pretty darn close to it. We moved way up the list with the increase in income taxes that we voted on ourselves a few years ago.
