Selling dealer said I could not drive off the CA lot without paying CA tax, so I skipped the fly/drive plan and had the car shipped 2,400 miles to me where I paid sales tax in my home state after delivery.

Good catch and something I hadn't thought of, but not a factor for me....
Motor vehicle sales made outside of Colorado are not subject to Colorado sales tax. Generally, a vehicle sale occurs at the location where the purchaser takes possession of the vehicle.
If anyone, including any individual or business, purchases a motor vehicle outside of Colorado and registers it in Colorado, the purchaser must pay Colorado use tax and any applicable local use tax at the time of registration. If the purchaser paid any sales, use, or other similar tax legally imposed by the state in which the sale took place, the purchaser is allowed a credit against the use tax due for the sales tax paid.
