When I bought my 92, I flew to Chicago and drove it home. I took my IL paper work into the DMV and transfered to CA registration. The only trouble I had was they have to get someone at the DMV to go outside and inspect you vehicle to assure that it trully has a Diesel engine. The Dumb *** they sent out took 30 minutes to get there and another 15 to figure it out. Duhhhh,,, No spark plugs? No joke. Other that that the law is easy.
