The state of California/DMV is very familiar with this kind of fraud that is very difficult to prove, therefore they resort to KBB price basis for this kind of artifically low sales price, excluding salvage titled cars of course. Sales from family members do not have sales tax and smog certification requirements, I did on last year.

 

only those that posted about it on a public forum.

 

umm... lol

 

which is why public forums are rarely considered to be the source of truth.
