The exception to the Hawaii dealer price gouging is the Toyota Scion line. It has virtually the same price everywhere in the country, + or - minor differences depending on the exchange rate the day it entered the country. So my Scion was $45 less than the one right next to it on the lot, but basically the same price as every other Scion in the country. I think there are a handful of other makes/models that lock in the price nationally.
Oregon has no sales tax, which makes it attractive to car and RV buyers, but unless you register the vehicle in Oregon, which requires an Oregon address, you are supposed to pay the tax when you register the car in your home state. There was a big bust when an Oregon RV salesman was caught letting out of state buyers use his home address to register $250,000 RVs, they were fined by both Oregon and California, and the salesman went to jail for fraud.
