I got a lot of experience with this moving around between states when in the military and afterwards. The good news was most states exempt military members from registering their cars in the state in which they are stationed.
Most states make you pay sales tax on any car you buy out of state and bring into the state as a resident to register. One exception most states make is if you had the car registered in another state for a certain minimum amount of time, usually 6 months or a year. Some people use this by registering the car with relatives, etc. Besides the risk of getting caught and the ethics of tax evasion, many states also base the taxe amount off of some sort of Blue Book value, so getting a bogus Bill of Sale will not always help. Especially if it shows a $50k+ Porsche that was sold for $2,500 or something.
