Buying a Liberty CRD

Thread rating:  |
Beeblebrox - 23 May 2004 09:41 GMT Hello,
I live in California, and I'm planning on buying a Jeep Liberty CRD when it comes out (the Diesel powered Liberty that Jeep's apparently been selling everywhere else on the planet, except the USA).
The vibe I get is that this vehicle will not be sold in California. However, it will not be difficult for me to buy it out-of-state, since I make trips to Nevada, Washington and Oregon frequently.
What do I need to do in order for this purchase to go smoothly once I drive it back to CA? Will the California Diesel Police throw me in prison? Will I be allowed to register it? Every car I've owned I've bought in CA, so I don't know what I'm in for when I register a car from outside CA.
Thanks for any advice.
Chuck Bremer - 23 May 2004 11:20 GMT Check with the DMV www.dmv.ca.gov- they have some good info on bringing out of state vehicles into CA. IIRC, you cannot buy a new vehicle from out of state and bring it in, unless it was manufactured to meet California emissions standards... if it's a 49-state vehicle, it must have at least 7,500 miles on the clock. Once you find a vehicle (and have its current title, which has been signed over to you), take it to a DMV or CHP office, where they will verify the VIN. You then send in some paperwork (or since you're already at the DMV office, you can take care of it while you're there). Pay your fees, and you're on your way with new plates and registration, and your new title will come in the mail in a couple of weeks. If you were to bring in a gasoline powered vehicle, you would also have to pass a Smog Check. There used to be a $300 'smog impact fee' charged on out of state vehicles, but it was declared unconstitutional a few years back.
here's a link to get you started: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/newvehicle.htm
good luck- Chuck

Imagine how many politicians have worked to create all this madness just to give their patronage workers something to do. It might be easier to move.

It might be easier to move. I'm no fan of the special smog rules California's government inflicts on residents and others, especially the recent smog program changes, so we likely agree in that regard.
But it's a good bed that the State you live in is "broke", too.
So don't throw stones; you likely live in a glass house.

Actually Oklahoma got rid of the vehicle inspections all because the inspection stations weren't making enough off the 7$ charge. So now we have to put up with idiots that don't/can't/won't maintain their own vehicles. No brake lights, no head lamps (or just one), bald tires... it's getting scary.

Unless you are a resident of a state where the vehicle is legal, and bring it to California as a used vehicle you will have trouble registering it, since is isn't legal. You could register it out of state, but it seems that currently California is encouraging folks who spot out of state cars regularly parked near California residences to report the registration fraud.

SB - 23 May 2004 17:36 GMT When i was living in BC (canada) you could buy a car in Alberta, the next province over, and not have to pay PST (Provincial Sales Tax).
Along with that, you'd pay some hefty fees to bring it back brand new....so for the first year or whatever, ppl would park it at home with alberta tags on it. I don't know how the insurance works on this....if you lie it's fraud....

Looks like one way is simply to wait and buy a used vehicle out of state. After a few months there should be demo-models for sale at dealerships or returns on leases/repossessions etc. I wouldn't mind living in California if it wasn't for the screwball laws and repressive regulations they have.

Volkswagon sells the Jetta TDI in California, so clearly diesel cars can be sold in California, and pass emissions.

LOL! It passes emissions, but the Jetta is still "too dirty" for the People's Republic of Bill.
BTW, what's your definition of "too dirty"? For example, all of those POS Geo Metros that are collecting rust in junkyards across the country, are they "clean" vehicles in your eyes?
L.W.(=?iso-8859-1?Q?=DFill?=) Hughes III - 24 May 2004 19:46 GMT If the Geo Metro passed the test than it is cleaner than any diesel, period!

4-year-throwaway vehicles that are rusting away, filling up junkyards, contaminating the soil, with their non-biodegradable components, are "clean" in your eyes.

*YOU* turned this into an anti-jetta, anti-Liberty, anti-diesel rant. If you had kept your rant limited to *just* the DMV registration issues surrounding passing emissions, you might have a leg to stand on; but you didn't, so you don't.

L.W.(=?iso-8859-1?Q?=DFill?=) Hughes III - 25 May 2004 21:11 GMT It is you that changed this thread into a personal Diesel Libby thing, it's the state of California that has outlawed the polluting diesels from all passenger cars, unless they pass emission tests that will allow them twice the pollutants as a gasoline engine starting in the year 2006, which is not likely, about the same likeness as you educating yourself about diesel pollution: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=diesel+pollution&spell=1 I see you didn't sign your rhetoric nor use a real name and address typically of little boys who haven't grown up enough to take on responsibility.

Thanks for your concern about air pollution. The fact that diesel engine vehicles are currently passing emissions regulations (even in California) is to be ignored? I sell lots of Cummins and Powerstroke pickups here in Wyoming. Remarkable how clean they really are.
Loved the photos of you standing next to stinky diesel powered semis. Taken back in the sixties, right? We've come a long ways since your father's Oldsmobile had a diesel.

Just had a mental argument with myself there....wasn't there a place in pensylvania that the coal was burning under the ground or something? now THAT's scary!
Ok...back to my regularly scheduled rant.... You know those RF emissions test they did on cell phones on 20/20 or whatever show? Know how they all passed....it's funny to note, that they all passed a peak emissions test. But the way the safety boards rate it for workers/people is 'exposure' limits. So it's being exposed to a certain power over a certain amount of time.
I work on radars. We were installing one near a town and the folks were up in arms cuz of the RADIATION worries (wrong radiation...but that's ok). Our engineer went and asked them all, "do you have a cell phone"...."in any given phone call, how long are you on it". I guess, on the old analog phones, if you were on it for 10 minutes or so, then you were over the exposure limits. Of course now that digital phones are out there, then you can slow boil your eyes instead of the fast fry! haha what a rant eh! Anyhow, I guess what I'm getting at..... with all the smog, pollution, food additives, etc.... out there that can cause us harm; don't forget rf emissions too. A LOT more people are needing eye glasses these days!
my head hurts now.....might be the lack of good air to breath....or the crap they stuffed in to my big mac.....or the rf emissions (ALIENS!! RUN!)....oh wait, I've been thinking again...ok, 'nuf said!

Nor have you provided a definition of 'coal oil'.
Dave Milne - 30 May 2004 02:53 GMT Bill, there were plenty of black buildings around before the motorcar was invented. It's coal and wood burning that made them that way. The old stone buildings don't get cleaned because the patina protects them from further erosion.

The trouble in trying to convince you is that you do have a perfectly valid point. It just isn't the biggest factor in making buildings black :-)

I didn't blow over the obvious dirty exhaust pipe - I expressly said "you have a perfectly valid point" !! I simply pointed out *it isnt the biggest factor*. that's before I get started on coal fired power stations from whom the environmentalists would like us to buy our "clean" electricity to put in our environmentally friendly lead-acid battery cars.

I think we are looking at off shore windmills. In Scotland, we can take more advantage of hydro-electric.
