I bought the truck, brand new in Idaho. The dealer wrote a cashiers check to the state of california for taxes, license, and registration. I will hand it to DMV when I go there.
The truck meets Cal. emissions standards.
I have 20 days to register it in Cal, from when it comes into the state. It was delivered by truck (a much bigger truck than mine!) to my door.
I am not trying to avoid any taxes or fees.
I just want to get my truck registered without running around in circles for the next two weeks.
Thanks for all the input.

You've got to love some of the snooty comments don't you. So people must have never bought a vehicle out of state before! LOL

As for the truck like was said before call the dealer and they can tell you how many miles it takes for the truck to be ready for an EPA test. Then just go for a trip until you get the miles on it if you can. My question to the morons in Sacramento is if the door sticker says the truck meets the California Emissions Standards why are they making you go through the testing? Oh that's right it's a money grab!

biggest issue is that the car was NOT SOLD in the state it is to be initially registered in. My local dealer got our truck from Dave smith (better price than dave had on the same truck) so it was sold as a Oregon truck, not ID truck. Had it been sold in Idaho instead of just transferring plates from my old truck and sending in registration I would have had to go to DMV, have them inspect the vehicle, match the VIN number, run a check to make sure it didn't show up anywhere as stolen vehicle, and pay more for registration
