In California you can register a new 49 state car as long as it has been previously registered in another state and has at least 7500 mi on the odometer. I've done it many times. He should have had it registered in Texas and driven 7500MI then re-register in California. It's expensive to register the car twice in the same year but that's the legal way.

[@aone7640]

He needs to do this

[@khoupernikkus6967]

How was he able to ship the car to CA? My understanding is in TX, dealers can only register a car to an owner with a TX address (and they gotta pick up plates and tags from the dealer when they come in). When I moved to TX from CA, Porsche Plano wouldn’t take my custom Macan order unless I provided a TX address for registration purpose, which I did.

[@davidrosing5788]

Rent apartment in Oregon and register the car there (or any other state that doesn't have sales tax) at the 'new' address. Drive from Oregon to New York, back to Denver, back to New York, and then home to California. Should be close to 7500 miles at that point. Then register car in California and end the lease in Oregon. This might be cheaper than the lawyers.

[@aone7640]

No he needs to get a lawyer so they can put there foot up the ass of the owner of the dealership. This is a slam dunk but he has to spend some money and the consumer laws would be on his side as this sale should be voided out if the Secretary of State can validate this sale was not allowed under registration laws

As you are aware, there was a period when many of the Dodge dealers were underhanded. I live in the Houston area and can personally vouch for the unscrupulous nature of many of our local dealers. In fact, I bought mine at a nearby dealership (I won't mention their name unless they get out of line), and they tried pulling some shady stuff with me, too. It got resolved in the end, but it was not until I spent my time and effort making them see the light. It's a shame that it has to be this way, especially with the exorbitant prices that they sold these cars. So much for loyalty...

[@a990dna]

Why would anyone expect a Texas dealer to process the necessary legal paperwork needed in California to certify this Dodge? I've purchased out of state -- but made sure it was 50 state certified. He needs to hire an attorney in California to help him get this vehicle certified. Or put it up on Bring-a-Trailer and sell it. I'm not surprised Stellantis made this only 49 state certified to avoid California laws. Buyer beware!

As someone who has a large fleet of vehicles in both California and Nevada, the simplest solution would be for him to get a mailbox in Nevada, register the vehicle there, then move it to California when the registration comes due (in a year). Nevada does not verify addresses or ask questions as long as you pay the fees. Very simple, easy solution. However, he will need to get a Nevada insurance policy. Also the only difference between a California and 49 state vehicle is amount of precious metal in the catalytic converters. The California vehicles have slightly more because they're required to have an 8 year/80,000 mile emission warranty. Meanwhile the actual tailpipe emissions are identical. Just another California scam in my opinion and the cost of replacement CA catalytic converters are 3 to 4 times as much. My 49 State Wrangler only requires a $150 49-state catalytic converter, whereas the almost identical California one is $1186. California b******* politics in my opinion

[@StevenMILLER-r6v]

buyer beware. One would think that a " car enthusiast" of this variety would KNOW to ask about CA emissions. C'mon folks. Adulting is HARD.

I had this exact problem many years ago in CA with a Ford Truck that I purchased from a dealer in NV. The truck did not have the CARB certification only the 49 states because it was not shipped to a CA dealer. However after much run around I spoke to Ford and they said all the trucks were built the same and will comply with all 50 states it's just anything not shipped to CA got the 49 state sticker back then. In the end CA DMV spoke to Ford and allowed Ford to send a new sticker that showed 50 State compliance for that truck. Problem solved. Amazing what a Sticker can do.

My 1st reaction at about 3:30 into the video was to laugh! I was in sales 30+ years and "out of state" registration was something I was ALWAYS careful about! Emissions were the first thing I looked for. As a dealership, we always assumed liability, so we did things right! One more thing: This car was a 2023 model? It's just now being sold in the fall of 2024? That means it could of sat around for over a year without being sold! I thought these cars sold as fast as they built them! What was the build date of this car?

I hope you guys are able to get them to do the right thing. I recently bought a scat pack from Culpeper Chrysler in VA, I live in CT and the deal was seamless, they advertised the car significantly under MSRP and they gave me a price for my trade in based on pictures and there were no surprises/issues so there are good dealerships out there but you need to be careful…

The answer is to simply get it registered. They won't look at a sticker, they will just register it and take his money happily. Geez Louise.

Good reason why a lot of dealers wont sell to Cali customers.

[@poormansdemon3176]

So if car is new and dealer can pay to have 50state cert Can a person take a new stock vehicle to have 50 state inspected or cert if they pay what ever cost is? I’m Canadian no idea just asking

[@MewVSMewtwo94]

I was wondering the same thing. I am from Texas. If he were able to, he could get it done and then sue the dealership to recoup any costs as well as cover any anguish he received due to the faulty deal. Not a guaranteed route but possibly the only choice he might have. *edit due to autocorrect mistake lol*

This video could have been 7 minutes long but the content provider just rambles on and on. I gave up at 7:15.

Why would I purposely make my video short when KZbin penalizes you for not having enough watch time on a video! You just hurting yourself when you post short videos and we won’t get into the monetary drawbacks! Clearly not understanding how this KZbin thing works

Stellantis bros punching air right now 😂😂

[@bekkiware264]

Wow, didn't even know about the 49 state sticker thing. Best of luck to him.

[@AYO_KO]

60k?? He could’ve bought a Cat😂

[@deanlewis3389]

My question is why are they not 50 state certified if there's nothing special needed to be a CA car?

[@Atomwaffen-y3s]

"I'm going to live in California", said no Texan, ever. THERE IS NOTHING "ILLEGAL" ABOUT HAVING AN LLC IN ANOTHER STATE.

[@Thebrianbrown]

Dealer here. There are ways to get them to buy it back.

[@omegaracerx]

I bought a car from gulfgate dodge years ago. One of the most crooked dealerships around. Never again.

[@tomyunt1839]

WOW I can’t even believe that could ever happen what a bad joke

[@overbese]

Sucks for the car buyer. I have done some spark ignition emissions testing work, this brings up a pet peeve of mine. EPA should not let California set their own emissions regulations. The actual emissions ppm qty allowed EPA vs. CA is basically the same. EPA formula is easy to understand, CA's is convoluted but ends up in mostly the same ppm. The hardware can pass both tests. The tests are different because reasons. CA just adds extra paperwork for basically the same emissions. It's ridiculous that CA gets to do the same overall emissions in a different formula just to be complicated. This is exactly what is wrong with government.
