I've never heard of that. The two cars I've purchased from Oregon both
retained their Oregon plates.
The one car I bought from Oregon from a dealer came with California plates.
(off-lease car from SoCal)
Regardless the trip permit is a 1-day, 3-day or week long temp
registration. Usually $15-20 or so.
Pretty common.
