Sort of, although it's probably a use tax rather than a sales tax. In most states, if you're registering a car for the first time, you are required to pay the tax to get it registered.
Technically, if you buy anything out of state that your state has a sales tax on, the seller won't charge you sales tax but you're supposed to report it to your state and pay the "use tax" on it. I doubt that the states get a lot of this happening.

I'm a licensed used auto dealer from Georgia. If you cannot show proof that sales tax have been paid, most states will require you to pay the tax at that state's rate at the time you purchase your license plates.

You do not have to pay the sales tax in the state of purchase. But you do have to pay the sales tax in your home state when you go to register and tag the vehicle you purchased out of state.

If you buy a vehicle out of state, then you only have to pay the tax rate of your home state, if you paid the tax in the state you are buying the car then the dealer might of miss lead you. You will still have to pay your state taxes. Some boarding dealers to your state will take care of your taxes for your state, and give you proof for DMV, no proof double taxes

In my state, you (the buyer) pays tax on the vehicle when you apply for the license plates that make it legal to drive on the road.
