Registering out of state lexus in Ca
Has anobody bought an out of state Lexus recently and registered it in Ca? I'm looking into getting a 1998 GS400 wich was originally purchsed in Florida, but now has NC plates. I have read some previous threads and it appears it can be done, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

I paid close to $1600 for tax and registration for my out of state car. The tax is based on the amount you claim you bought the car for. But as for registering the car, you should be able to register it, but you should read the link that rominl posted.. there is alot of good information there. Also make sure you can smog the car.. let me repeat.. Make Sure You Can Smog The Car. or atleast that it will pass. For some reason my car did not and end up paying more money to get that fixed. Also remember I think you have 20 days after entering Ca for you to register the vehicle.

Granted $900 won't buy a set of rims, but it will come pretty close to a new set of tires for example.
