Can I Register A Diesel Pick Up From Out Of State In Ca ?

Bigbore500r

Been looking at some new dodge diesels out of state, there seems to be a hefty discount at the moment ($4k improve) if purchased in Idaho or the similar. How much of a pain is it to bring it to CA and register? I'm assuming you would accept to pay the sales revenue enhancement here in CA as well. Anyone do this lately, any feedback?

Y'all volition pay sales tax in ca - I don't call up its that hard.

I bought a truck last year in OHIO - I had it shipped and paid the tax at DMV when I got plates.

You'll pay the difference in sales tax.
The vehicles I've brought hither were fifty State legal.

Take delivery in CA and so you don't pay double sales revenue enhancement...?

You'll pay the difference in sales tax.
The vehicles I've brought here were 50 Country legal.

Big thing to remember. Had a neighbor buy a new car and information technology was not a l land machine, and CA would not register it. He ended up selling it to his parents who registered it their home state then kept it for a yr. PIA

Yes, brand sure it's CA smog legal!

I bought a truck in Montana in June.

Collection it back hither to Kalifornia, had it weighed and smogged and visually inspected (to verify it's the truck you say information technology is) and paid registration at DMV. They'll need to get the title from you (or the dealer if you're financing it) - they'll request it from the dealer for you.

Check and see if your dealer has experience selling trucks going to CA as they can help you.

I've never paid double, just the difference in sales revenue enhancement.
They tacked it on at the DMV.

the car or truck must exist Ca carb approved the sticker is on the cadre support or on the underside of the hood

I don't believe whatever carmaker ells what used to be known as a "49 land" vehicle.
I could exist mistaken, but I believe every new car sold in America is now "l state emissions legal" car, as something like a dozen states have adopted CA emission standards.

It's simply not cost-constructive to certify xxx% of your fleets to a different standard.

It'due south just not toll-effective to certify thirty% of your fleets to a different standard.

I'1000 nether the same impression, I think they are all 50 Country now?

Yes, they practise but you're right. Ford actually sells Raptors that are all IDENTICAL except the sticker. The ones that are CA CARB compliant have the sticker nether the hood. The ones that aren't CARB compliant don't accept the sticker. And that'due south the only departure - the sticker! Buyer beware!

I bought my latest Duramax from Idaho, pretty uncomplicated process..

-Brand sure yous buy a vehicle that is 50 land legal, there are some federal trucks that are physically the same only they have some things inside the tune for things like the cheque engine light that are different.

-Some dealers will brand you lot pay your CA sales tax when you take delivery and some will sale you lot the vehicle for the sales price and you pay the revenue enhancement on your own. Either way, y'all're only paying tax one time and it goes to CA.

-Once you lot bring it into CA, you'll take to smog it and then go get a dmv vin verification. Once that's done you can register it and get your plates. For trucks y'all're too required to get it weighed and requite the DMV the ticket forth with the other paperwork.

This includes certain diesel-powered vehicles. DMV cannot accept an application to register a vehicle in California that does not qualify for registration (California Wellness and Safety Code §§43150 - 43156).

Aren't All Vehicles California Certified?
Not all new vehicles are manufactured to be sold in California. Many manufacturers make vehicles to exist sold only in the other 49 states. These vehicles (49-state) are made with smog equipment that meets federal emission standards, but not California standards. California-certified (50-country) vehicles are made to be sold in California.

Check the Label
To observe out whether a car, truck, or motorbike is California certified, bank check the emission label nether the hood. For a motorcycle, bank check the frame or refer to your owner' due south manual for the location. The label should read that the vehicle conforms to California regulations, or that information technology is legal for auction in California.

Exemptions

Yes, make sure it'south CA smog legal!
I bought a truck in Montana in June.

Drove information technology back hither to Kalifornia, had it weighed and smogged and visually inspected (to verify it'southward the truck y'all say it is) and paid registration at DMV. They'll need to get the title from you (or the dealer if you're financing it) - they'll request it from the dealer for you.

Check and meet if your dealer has experience selling trucks going to CA as they can aid you.

Twice I have bought a new Ford truck from a dealer in Idaho and had to do exactly what is written above. It won't smog with no or very few miles on information technology and and then you volition have to take it to the referee station (located at Pierce Higher) and they will spend about a half hour looking at it, and so sign information technology off, toll was very depression, like $five or $10. If you didn't pay sale revenue enhancement y'all will pay it on registration, if you did, then y'all only pay the divergence to what CA is charging. You lot volition need a weight document, be sure to weigh it with little or no fuel in it.
