Sales Tax - you pay the legal sales tax where you buy a vehicle, and if you register the vehicle in a different state - you owe tax there.

Not necessarily true. recently we were looking at new vehicles and looked at buying in washington because they had one we wanted. Live in oregon. At least in WA if you purchase in WA are not a WA resident and are going to register in oregon (maybe other states as well) no sales tax due in washington. And oregon has no sales tax. So where we bought OR or WA didn't make any difference.

I believe in WA you pay the sales tax when you register the vehicle. So if it isn't registered in WA you won't pay sales tax.

Not sure how other states handle it.

You’re both right. Depending on the circumstance or state. Lots of time if you take delivery in the purchasing state (and live in another state ) you pay the tax in state of purchase but can credit it to your registration state. If you pay more than due, you’re out the difference.
Last new trailer I bought (coincidentally it was a trailer, same for vehicles, anything g that requires title and/or registration, I bought out of state. Told dealer I didn’t want to pay tax, he said he’d have to deliver it out of that state. He was right, but we agreed that I “took delivery” out of his state. Even though I didn’t.
I wasn’t planning on titling it as I only needed it a couple weeks and bought it cross country from my home state, and had no internet in paying tax and registration in my state just to sell it immediately upon returning to my home state.
