Let me know how that goes, CA DMV rules state the car must of been registered in another state and have over 6 or 7K miles on it for them to let you register the car in CA. I am very curious how they will handle your situation.

FINALLY!! My wait is OVER!! WRB MT Limited arrived Saturday. One day sooner. The biggest on-line/mail order sight unseen no test drive purchase ever! Odometer just like the document - 5 miles only landed in my front door! The only thing I can be picky about is the bumper and windshield is full of bugs after travel 1000+ miles, and the body is stick with a thin layer of Nevada desert dust. It comes off from a 40 foot long car transporter truck/trailer. Needs a good hand wash, that's all. I can tell the driver is a Pro do this load/ unload cars everyday so many times. My worry about the car may got a ding or scratch is over (or I should not be worry at all). Price? I have it @ MSRP shipped, plus license/tax of course. CO dealer also provide a temporary plate (paper) and CO tag so I can drive 60 days in CA until registration. "Someone" suggested me to register almost 60 day to get full use and save a couple months of CA registration fees.
I will post the DMV process after my visit to them, soon. |

curious to see how it was handled, since you bought from Heuberger too right? I thought my sales person told me they would handle registering in CA for me, she said their title/reg people did CA sales all the time...

My dealer did not take care of sales tax. The DMV did that when I registered the car, although they apparently f***ed something up so I need to go back, but I think it had something to do with my paperwork rather than an issue with the laws. I'll go back and handle it without an issue, most likely. Just a FYI. |

I honestly feel like I got the rookie finance guy on my deal.. He wasnt in sync with the sales person at all... In addition he was looking for the "easy path" to submit title.. Im headed to dmv thursday to get paperwork filed.

hmmm I am a AAA member so I wonder if I can go into a local AAA office and get the registration taken care of when the time comes, without having to deal with DMV. I avoid the DMV like the plague.

The little business card like tag is to put inside the car. The paper plate with a big hand written expire date is to display from the rear window inside.

If we didn't get the option of getting a *technically* base FR-S we would've bought that one in Chico despite the medium-long drive. They were selling it to us for MSRP, with no aftermarket stuff. We had the car on hold and were supposed to pick it up last Friday but last Thursday my dad got the option of our preferred FR-S. If we did buy the one in Chico, we would've peeled the protection film and bumper appliqué off. And the bespoke would've been useless. We'd rather wait a little longer than spend $1500 on options we don't like. I believe that the Whiteout is still available. There might be 2...one has around 185 miles from a dealer trade, and the other one with 10 miles we were going to get. |
