CA registering out of state new vehicle

Nice! Did you end up working with Chip at Baxter? Super nice guy! Will definitely let you know. Im driving up to MN to grab a toy hauler then back down, shouldn't change my route much. Need to stop in Moab for a day or two of R&R.

I went with Jose Galindo at Baxter! Thank you for the referral !

Get ready, my truck just hit 1 Year on Feb - $1180 for 2025. Love Ca.

I went to a 3rd party DMV services place with a smog, weight certificate and they did the VIN check there. They took care of entering and gave me the plates right away. They charge around $70 but totally worth it.

Same experience as everyone here, but they didn’t even look at the weight certificate. My dealer submitted paperwork to Ca DMV, I believe they fill out weight on the form. Got a letter a month or so after from DMV to come in and complete registration (smog and pay taxes/fees). If dealer submits paperwork I believe you’ll have to go to that specific DMV office to complete it.
