From the research I've done so far I can save anywhere from $2k to $6k for the same exact vehicle in Texas compared to in South Louisiana

You still have to pay a 4.45% sales tax whenever you register the car in Louisiana. Example:

$50,000 x 4.45% = $2,225

I think you might be able to claim that on your taxes, but I can't see that being that much of a benefit. I've considered doing the same by going to South Florida for a car and turning the trip into a vacation but the price on vehicles right now is still outrageously inflated.

yes - I am aware that if I were to purchase a new truck out of state that I would have to pay the Louisiana sales tax. IMO it is still worth 1 day of my time to potentially save $6K to purchase a vehicle in Texas compared to locally
