Do you have a CA emissions car? Do you have two cats on it? I heard CA was very stricy on bringing cars in from out of state. Will they even allow a salvaged title car in?
At the price and time of prep and delivery your son could find a local used car cheaper I would think.
Maybe sell the car here and send him the money instead.
He sold the California NB he had, and unfortunately his son's NB is not a CA car.
By the way, he will be selling a like new 99-00 Racing Beat header and TDR heat shield soon. The header is not allowed in CA.
Selling car here I still go through the pain of getting the title converted. Registering it in Ca only requires removing the RB header which I will be selling as soon as I have it out of the car.
