Yes, you will always pay Tennessee sales tax rate and additional county taxes (TN county you live in) for any vehicle purchase out of state.

This is how I understand it.

Or the dealer can ask where the car will be registered and they can charge you the tax for your particular state at the time of the sale. That's what my dealer did when I lived in DC. I bought my TSX in Maryland, but lived in VA - they simply just charged me the VA taxes.
This +1. Leased from dealer in Maryland and paid VA sales taxes, state registration and fees.
