Getting a car out of province is not a way to get out of tax. They'll ding you when you register it in BC based upon the purchase price of the car.
Not if you are relocating to BC along with the car.

Settlers effects are not taxable in any jurisdiction I have ever moved to.

In some jurisdictions an item has to be owned by the immigrant (to the area/province/country) for a specified minimum time (often 6 months) to qualify for tax free registration.

But you'd be relocating from another product that you did pay tax at.
He is talking about buying a car and registering it under his name for the first time. Of course you don't pay tax AGAIN when you move.

Didn't have to - I live in Alberta
I simply completed an "Out Of Province" Inspection and then registered it.

I should have worded it different. The car was registered to the owner prior so moving is not a taxable event as long as the person isn't transferring the ownership for the first time in BC.
