If the title VIN matches the VIN on the car you can always just throw the plates away and DMV will issue new ones, doesn’t seem like that big of a deal

If the title VIN matches the VIN on the car you can always just throw the plates away and DMV will issue new ones, doesn’t seem like that big of a deal My point was that there could be title issues if there is a mismatch, & nothing with CA DMV is easy! You generally need to turn in the old plates to DMV to get new ones - unless there are none on the car - so you can't just throw away old plates & hope that they'll issue new ones. I've been through this DMV dance before, as have many friends, & they can be complete a-holes! Also, if it's not kept registered or on Non-Op, then you can get stuck for $1000s fo fines & penalties - on top of your sales tax, transfer & title/registration fees. So yes it can be a big deal. |

If it hasn't been registered or non-op'ed in long enough, it falls out of the system, and there are no extra penalties. Sadly, I don't remember how long it takes for that to happen. --DD |

I find it’s cheaper to buy CA cars and ship than to do the metalwork on east coast cars. I’ve given my title company some funky looking titles with obviously wrong info and they just say whatever, we see it all the time and then a couple weeks later, I get the new title in the mail. They charge me a couple dollars to process over what it cost me to do myself. Money well spent. |
