Anyone done it? Pain? Easy? What about paying sales tax in that state or Texas?

I flew to MS to buy a vehicle last year. They picked me up at the airport drove me to the dealership. I wrote a check for the price we had agreed upon. They sent me down the road with a temp tag. I did have the dealership sign a Texas 130-U. I took it back home had it inspected, went to an auto title place, paid the sales tax and a few weeks later my plates showed up. Wasn't too difficult.

out of state
Bought an Ecoboost years back from Woodhouse in Blair, Ne.
Did everything over the phone / via Fed Ex. Had the truck delivered. Thanks to the poor logistics of DAS auto shippers out of Mesquite, Texas I had paid the TX tax and had my plates and registration sticker about 2 weeks before the truck showed up. They did manage to take it from Blair, to Colorado, then home to Texas without a scratch on it.
If I did it again I would have the dealer bring it to me...or fly up and drive it back. And yes - you can save that much money to make it worth it. At least at the time you could on an F150. They were honest when I was F350 and Jeep Grand Cherokee shopping and told me to get them local.
