It varies state by state.

Cali, you have to pay taxes on the cost or value of the vehicle. Which ever is HIGHER.

I Live in SC and I bought my Hatch in NC. When I got home I just went and paid the property tax and then went to the dmv and paid the sales tax, and the normal fee to change the title into my name and they isued me a SC title. It was the same as if I bought it here in SC. Hope that helps out a little.

you will have to check through the DMV, some states charge by the gross weight/base value, others by emissions, etc.
