buying in ca to drive to IN---HELP!

[norton56]

Here are the questions
We want to buy a Honda in California in May. We are currently living in Hawaii (transitioning out of the military) moving back to Indiana after buying said car from California. My worries are about;
Sales tax- pay California’s at 8.75? Pay Indiana’s tax at the California dealership? (one dealership told me they cant do it) OR pay nothing until getting to Indiana and pay 7%? Is there any worry about Indiana trying to make us pay it twice?
Registration- I just need to get to Indiana legally where I will register the car. The dealer I spoke with told me cali doesn’t have temp registration and gave me some speal about driving to reno to officially transfer the car to me?! He also said this would make it so we didn’t have to pay the sales tax? I found this site: http://www.mini2.com/forum/dealership-feedback/87557-sales-tax-question-out-state-buyer.html and am hoping it’s the answer to my problems!
Any advice or prior experience would be very helpful!
