Anyway, it will always be true, that registering a car in Montana is tax evasion/fraud if the car is not garaged in Montana. Whether you become a target of enforcement is the only open question.
The last 4 vehicles I ordered/purchased had specific clauses that I was prohibited from registering the vehicle in Montana or purchasing with an LLC. With trade-in credit & a low vehicle sales tax, I didn't pay a whole lot in taxes anyway. More than $0, sure, but nothing to really complain about.
