Luckily the guy couldn't read the original invoice (it's not in English) because he ended up computing the taxes based on the base price, not the price with options - saved me two or three hundred bucks at least.
Anyway, I don't know the laws in Nevada - I think there's another guy on here who went to NV and didn't pay taxes? I'm pretty sure it's unavoidable for California, because I looked into a little bit because I thought I might be PCSing there instead of TX.

Im PCS'ing to Cali unfortunately and I am considered a resident of that state. Born and raised. I just paid off my car and have been in Germany for 3 years. Will i still have to pay this use fee when i register my car? I think its such crap. If its 2k ima shit my pants.
