Second, make sure that the car is CA smog legal - in other words, no modifications that would be prohibited in CA. Any mods that aren't CA smog legal will have to be un-done before you can register the car here.
What kind of taxes are we talking about? I assume not sales tax? I did hear you have to pay the greater of the 2 sales taxes if you buy out of state and bring into California. What else is there?

One of the main reasons I want to buy out of CA, is that I'm looking for a very specific used 2011, and it's very unlikely that I can find it in any one state. I'm even having trouble finding it anywhere across the US at the moment.

Thanks in advance!
