No one has ever physically checked the VIN when I've bought or sold within the state of kalifornistan; since I started driving in 1979.

Should I just steal cars within the state to evade authorities?
Yeah, probably that is a good plan for you. :) And if you do it in the right jurisdiction with a liberal county DA, you probably won't even get arrested.

CA buyer here and I’ve been inquiring with dealers out of state. I had one mention they can’t ship/sell to CA for emissions reasons. I found this hard to believe. Does ford produce different variants of the f150 raptor? I can understand if a smog inspection would be required in CA. But to not be able to sell otherwise doesn’t make any sense.

Can anyone else corroborate this info?
I live in CA and I bought a Ranger Raptor from a dealer in Virginia in October. I used a company called CarEdge to locate the truck and arrange the shipping. Telling you they can't ship to CA is BS All vehicles meet CA emissions and the out of state dealer will also make the paperwork for the DMV (I'm currently waiting on mine).
