Buying a Liberty CRD

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.

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

Unbelieveable...no wonder Kalifornia's broke.

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.

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.

 Details available on the California DMV website.

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.

Kinda funny when you realize that mexico literally has no anti dumping or

about a rive down there that is like a toxic waste river... really just amazing

that's another reason why most companies have facilities down there.

???  When you say "these polluters", are you including the Liberty
CRD?  I'm no mechanic, but my understanding is that modern diesel
engines are much cleaner than the diesel engines used in cars from the
70s and 80s.

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

    And I will repeat the diesel which includes that POS Jetta will be

vehicle is require to pass. Read it for yourself:

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! The Diesel is too dirty to pass the tests required for
the gasoline engine, by a factor of more than two. I've driven diesels
over a million miles, they have their place, but lets not pollute the
world just because you want one in a passenger car.

It appears I went waaaaay over your head.

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

Ah, the irony.

Liar.

*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.

I saw the picture of you and your family with your Jeep.  Nice ride.
Too bad the driver sucks, though.
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:

Bill,

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.

Hi Dave,
    Well probably the supercharge 871 detroit is gone, but the four
hundred horse power Cummins looks exactly the same:

If you give enough money to the right whores... er... politicians, you can sell
anything in California.  That doesn't mean it's clean.

They would have you believe there really is such a thing as a Zero Emissions

I love my 2.8 Liberty (Cherokee) CRD, they have been around a couple of
years here.  when you pay as much for fuel as we do ($6.50 a gallon - though
our gallons are 20% bigger) you will be glad of the better fuel economy

but go back to the days when we cooked over open fires....do you think your
lungs were virgin clean then?

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!

    Coal is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, so it burns
just find underground without additional oxygen. Nitrous! :-) That was
one of the hardest things for me to understand as a kid, that a rock
like gypsum (CaSO4·H2O) had water in it and that cement was a chemical
reaction.
    Radiation, good. let me have a pill to crack some hydrogen from my
salt water fuel tank. Until then don't bother me with these tax
subsidized hybrid golf carts that'll never be cost efficient, as long as
we have gas.

...naw if it came down to direct competition the oil industry would
back off the squeeze and prices would drop. BTW, at least the oil
companies are doing well this year, hell how could they not after
jacking prices...

First quarter profits for some of the biggest oil companies:

BP up 165 percent
Chevron-Texaco up 294 percent
Conoco-Phillips up 44 percent
ExxonMobil up 125 percent

  Surging oil and gasoline prices pushed ChevronTexaco Corp. to
record
  profits of $2.56 billion in its first quarter, easily topping Wall
  Street's expectations.

   Of course like every bleeding heart liberal, you make a statement
without any facts. If just one you would find just one web site, it
would be a miracle! If you made a product what would you expect to make
for profit? I would think more than five percent. Look at a few of these

thats just it, like it or not we are at war in a major oil producing

that the *major* oil companies are having record profits in this
quarter seems to indicate that they are bending us over because they

What does that have to do with diesel engines?

    Coal oil is diesel fuel.

Where will I find lots of diesels running on 'coal oil'?

If it is from crude, it isn't coal oil, except colloquially.

Do you actually think that diesels are the source of black buildings in
cities?

    It's your pollution over all that's made your buildings black,
that's just the telltale sign, your country is out of control, it's your
lungs you should be worried about! You know as bad as Los Angeles was in
the fifties, smog so bad I don't know the city was surrounded by six
thousand foot mountains, it was never dirty. I feel sorry for the
Europeans.

Nice rant, but I don't live in Europe.

You still haven't shown that black buildings are from diesel engines.

Nor have you provided a definition of 'coal oil'.

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.

    Denial, is not just a river in Egypt. Don't you remember walking
through the parking lots in the winter snow, remember the snow and the
back bumpers of the diesel cars? While they were starting up under the
glow plugs?

Sure, and I've just paid out 2700 quid to get my 4 chimneys rebuilt  :-)

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 :-)

Here's a link.

aaag ! 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.

    You need energy to charge batteries, and your country has found out
coal is the cheapest. Here we have tax subsidized windmills, and solar
panels, so... expensive that they will never be hooked to the grid.

We have windmills too - they are pretty good actually, and not that
expensive, but they look crap as they are so big. I think we are looking at
off shore windmills. In Scotland, we can take more advantage of
hydro-electric.

You still haven't figured out that blackened buildings didn't come from
diesel vehicles?

You still don't know what coal oil is?
