Regardless of all the above I just wrote, your dealer is going to be required to charge you sales tax on your order, which they pay to CA. And you have to pay for the car in full (or lease) before your trip.

So your only option is to try to ask the state for your tax back, after you paid it via your dealer. Ain't gonna happen.

If you really don't want to pay sales tax, just trade in a car for the equivalent price of the car you're buying. Worked for me
Trading in car for same value only applies to some states. CA wants every penny lol.
