I have been getting a wide range of advice on how I could actually get a CRD here in California. Does anyone here have detailed info on how I could end up driving a CRD here under the CARB regulations? The most popular thing I hear is that I cannot register a CRD unless it has more than 7500 miles on it. Is this correct? I tried looking through the DMV regulations and just really got more confused... Thanks for any help, Loyal |

I don't live there but I understand that you can not register a diesel in Kaliforia unless it has at least 7500 miles. Check out freds tdi site and ask there. |

Thanks for any help, Loyal There are supposedly three loopholes you can get it into CA. 1) it is gifted to you 2) 7500 miles, used vehicle 3) you went on vacation somewhere and you bought another vehicle to replace your current one because it (a) broke down beyond economical repair, or (b) was stolen A decent plan (verify with the DMV first) is to drive a real junker down to your dealer and time it to have the engine explode, driveshaft disintegrated, car catches on fire, etc. right outside of the dealer .... |

Loyalp, I'm in the process of figuring this out myself. You basically have 2 options like dirtykj said: 1) Wait till some start showing up on the used market. A vehicle w/ over 7,500 miles is considered "used" and so you can bring it in to Cali assuming it complies w/ Federal regs (is legally available for sale in the wider US). This is definitely the least risky method 2) From the CARB site: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/NonCAVeh/NonCAVeh.pdf As a California resident, you may register a new out-of-state vehicle certified to federal emission standards only if you: a) obtain it as part of an inheritance or divorce settlement b) purchase it to replace your California registered vehicle that was stolen while out-ofstate; or c) purchase it to replace your California registered vehicle that was destroyed or became inoperative beyond reasonable repair while out-of-state. When you apply to register the vehicle, you must show proof - such as a court order, police report or repair invoice - that you qualify for an exception. So I thought about buying a $200 car off craigslist with the ad "Need car, must make it to Reno!" but it's a tangled mess. Normally if you own a vehicle for less than a year, the DMV gets "use tax" (sales tax) from you, even if you paid in another state. Supposedly there's a way to get a credit in Cali on what you paid in the other state but it seems like a pain to me. So I'm thinking of buying one back in Oklahoma and just avoiding the cops until I hit 7,500 miles. But I would hit the 'use tax' issue above. However, you're exempt from 'use tax' if the vehicle is a gift from a family member. so I'm thinking I'll have my parents 'buy' a CRD in Oklahoma, I'll drive it until it reaches 7,500 (if I get pulled over it'll be in my parent's name), then they'll 'gift' it to me and I'll reg it here. I'm going home for T-Giving so I'm hoping to be able to test drive a CRD while I'm there. Why do we live here again?

Thanks for the info guys. I'm thinking my dad in Nebraska would like to gift a CRD to me for XMas. 
Lived here in CA for 12 years. That's about 12 years too long... |
