It was purchased new by me in Alaska.  And I guarantee you I will never be a resident of California.  Never.  Ever.

I've driven in the SoCal bowl and adaptive cruise control is the only thing that makes it bearable.

If I Buy A Car In Another State Where Do I Pay Sales Tax? (autolist.com)

Quote

 

If I Buy a Car in Another State, Where Do I Pay Sales Tax?

 

Typically, when you buy a car in a different state than where you reside, the car dealer collects your sales tax at the time of purchase and sends it to your home state's relevant agency. That way, you do not have to deal with the fuss of trying to follow each state's unique tax laws. Before the Department of Motor Vehicles in your home state will register your new vehicle, they may check the bill of sale to ensure you paid the sales tax, so you should not try to skimp on paying it.

I bought my new truck in Indiana.  The dealer handled the title  ,Licensing and taxes. The forms where Kentucky.. the taxes and fees we paid were Kentucky. Not Indiana.. So my Assumption would be you pay the taxes for the State you are going to licenses the Truck in.. Vehicle taxes  are not the same as state sales taxes. they are USAGE to pay for roads , police and so on ...  Its how i think it works here anyway.  

 

You will have to take the truck to your home state / county  Sheriff office to have a  out of state  inspection at time of registration or before.

My last 4 car purchases were done out of state. If you do some research you can find the paperwork your state will need. Take it to the out of state dealership. They'll handle it. They should be able to roll your state's tax, title, licensing fees, etc into your loan if you finance your purchase.

There are situations, like active duty military, where your home state will waive taxes and/or fees. That'll be a fight/headache with the dealership. If you fall into this category, be sure to have a point of contact at your state's agency that you can provide to the dealership.

Be sure it has California emissions if you buy it new there. My Cheyenne from Tijuana has the 5.3 V8 and it's already California, but I don't know about the others.

Used cars with more than 7,500 miles are exempt though.. but the DMV will look at the new pink slip and know if you're the original owner so don't try to drive around for 7,500 miles before bringing it in.

Just the sticker under the hood will suffice.. if it says "California" - you're good to go. I've bought 50-state emission vehicles and know people who won a car in Vegas and could not register their new cars in California. It was only five years ago so don't assume all cars are 50-state.

GM has about four or five different emissions codes.  My truck has the FE9 code, which is federal emissions.  But supposedly all trucks meet the emissions requirements for all states, so not sure what impact that emissions code has on registering a vehicle in Cali.

FE9 code does NOT meet California's code, I promise you that. It will not be registered if you are the original owner and a resident of California.

However, if it was purchased used with over 7,500 miles, it can be registered in California.

Thinking outside of the box, you could always obtain duel state citizenship. But some land in a nearby state and register, title, and get license plates for your truck in that state. This would save you a chunk of change in taxes to justify and offset the land acquisition. I'm eyeballing an area where an acre is $1,000 right now.

I believe California goes back six months. And if he's got another state to register in, then that'd be great. I have Mexican plates and Mexican citizenship, but cops still pull me over regularly here in California to make sure I do not live here.

 

The thing is I also own a house in Dana Point so that kind of complicates things.

And you cannot own more than two driving licenses at once. I know that because I was required to give up my CA driver's license for a NV one so I cancelled that. However, I do have Baja California and California.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
