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.

Exactly what Sailor said is how Laura handles it.

yeah thats what i got as well, he called today

 

some dealers take care of it and some dealers dont, just wasnt sure what they did, however the salesman did say i pay tax in illinois and then they send that back to me to pay my state plus what i owe on top...either way its fine just wasnt sure, maybe heading to st louie and see my brother on way back....be nice trip.....

 

thanks

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.

i will be financing but thru my CU.....check on CA emission, I thought that all were at this point but ill check.....be nice to eveything done there but its fine.......thanks for tip......never bought out of state

 

about a 5-6k difference between here locally and there so far......pretty substantial

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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
