If the OP is keeping the car in Oregon, one would assume he has some form of residence there. That's where the car should be registered and taxed.

lives in OR and buys car there and stores in NY all legal. The key is residency and your drivers licenses. I use a GA license vs NY, and use to keep a car in NY with GA plates. I get pulled over I show my GA license with my GA address no issues. Also GA will let my bypass smog check in GA as the car is in NY for work. Never a problem.
now if in NY for 6 months plus one day you have a problem because you’re now a legal NY residents. I’ve had this fight twice with NY and won both times as it’s legit. 51% of people win residency in NY, and they will audit the crap out of you. Not worth it if you’re cheating.

It is illegal to have multiple drivers licenses.

I think you misread Maverick787’ s post. He has residency in GA and uses his GA DL.

You will pay sales tax in the state that you register it in. You also need an address to register the car. Create an LLC in Oregon and register it there under your LLC. The companies that help set up the LLC can manage the mail for you and you use their address.
I did this in Montana recently to avoid the 10% sales tax in Louisiana. The LLC cost me $569. I'm buying two new Porsches in the next 20 months and not paying all that tax.

You do not have to be a resident of the State to register a car there. The car needs to be registered in the state that is going to be housed and driven. I can live in California and own and register a car in Nevada as long as the car is housed and driven there. What I can't do is tag it there and then drive it primarily here in California.

But that wasn't my point. My point was that you do not have to register a car where your primary residence is, nor do you have to pay tax on it in your home state when you buy it if it won’t be in that a State. The commenter who said he needed to pay NY tax was wrong.
