You will have to pay California sales tax. Doug
California disguises sales tax as a use tax. :W
Depending on where and from whom you buy the coach will determine how easy it will be to register. If purchased from a dealer, that dealer will take care of most of your paperwork. I bought our first pusher from PPL in Houston and the process was pretty straightforward. My second one was from a private party in Arizona and it was slightly more difficult. You will have to have the vin verified which can be a chore depending on who you have do it. And yes, you will have to pay the use tax. If you buy from an out of state dealer that has a reciprocal agreement with CA., they will charge you their sales tax and you'll get a credit for that from CA. against your use tax. I don't think any other State has taxes less than CA......Dennis
