I heard that some people purchase cars out of state to avoid high sales tax here in California. Does this work or is it worth it for new or used cars? Does anyone know whats involved? Would it be worth it to even fly to another state and then drive back? Anyone have any experience in this area?

My mother in law has a Honda Accord and I have a BMW. I would like to give her the BMW and take the Accord. The problem is that in order to register the cars we would need to pay sales tax on the MARKET VALUE of each car. Is there a way we can trade cars and avoid paying sales tax? My car is registered in Connecticut. My mother in law’s car is registered in Mass.
