This is just the beginning
You are making me nervous. Everything looked great on paper.
Bring bills of sale that report the value of the car much lower than the actual sales price. The DMV will take highest value between what they estimate and what you provide in the bill of sale. That is your best bet.
Both new cars, so that will be tough
You’re fucked
Just wait until you start paying the 13.3% state income tax and $4k for rent.
Can I wait a year before getting a registration?
I think you have a 20 day grace period after becoming a state resident. After that, if you don't and are pulled over I think you can get fined.
Any idea what the fines are?
This is depressing. Any positive sides of living in CA?
You wanted to be a baller but don’t want to pay the taxes?
You are eligible to claim a sales tax refund from your current state’s DMV. Check the application form, it mentions a site for more info. You will need a CA registration/title though to prove you are not using the existing registration anymore.
Good point thanks. Will look into it.
Welcome to California!
