Since California is one of those states where the license plate stays with the car essentially for life, is there a way to apply for a different plate or a vanity plate? Maybe the dealer would be willing to foot the bill.

He's been pulled over 14 times, no wonder there's a warrant on it.

1. Bring in 1 plate damaged (or say it was lost) and ask for replacements, they will automatically assign new plates with new plate numbers. This is the cheapest way.

2. On my Lexus my CPO car came with plate numbers I didn't like. So I applied for "Lake Tahoe" plates (cost me an extra $40 every year), and again they automatically assigned new plate numbers on those fancy plates.

Therefore plates on CA cars often do not stay with the car for the life of the car.

Exactly, see my posting directly above. I've done it both ways as I mentioned.
