Not my intention to mess with your ad because I am looking at TLCs, but how is this Ca. registered? It would have to be CARB lab tested and certified to be due to being grey market. Does it have the sticker?

You're confusing this with what happens with a USA built diesel. This is grey market which is a whole other world of issues.

How are you not confusing it? What you said is wrong.. sorry but lets keep things straight here.

That Rover, unless it got the CARB cert. which for a Tdi would cost around $12,000, will be rejected like the rest at random by the DMV head office and he will have to title it elsewhere. Not much resale value in Ca. in my opinion. People who go down that route routinely get a revocation letter from CARB/DMV and that's no fun at all, and you aren't getting out of it easily, if at all. The only hope is that's one of the motors the lab will cert.. but probably not. Either way, it will cost $10K+

You can try the Montana thing but CHP has power over your rig's future if you get pulled over. Not an easy game in Ca.. but without the CARB cert. these Ca. registrations are a timebomb and a mistake that some DMV clerk let through.
