Re: SRT prices?

OK, so I have a question about taxes. I bought my GTS from Maryland, had it shipped to Florida, and then took delivery of it here in California some 4 months or so later. I didn't have to pay any sales tax on the car. I was told it was because the car was purchased out of state and not brought into California until more than 90 days later. Not sure if this is a law or not, so does anybody know?

Reason I ask is that if I buy a dealer car (which i am doing) here in California, I have to pay sales tax which will be over $5K. Now there is a car here in California as well which is $2K more than what the dealer is asking, but it is titled in another state right now. So if I can somehow buy that one and not pay the sales tax, it saves me $3K.

Anybody know the magical equation on what causes one to pay the sales tax vs. not, when registering the car?
