buying Z in CA, moving to Las Vegas

Nevada will not require the smog requirements that you are used to. Nv is a cheap state concerning permits and taxes, so price the same car there via the net. It might make sense to buy it in the silver state.

Things are a little more complicated: I reside in N. CA currently and plan to sell my current car for an acquaintance locally and then buy the Z.

Buying a Z in Vegas while I'm still reside in CA will not solve the problem since I will have to registered it with CA's DMV. Waiting to trade in (or sell) when I'm already moved to Vegas is alos not an option and that's the rub, because I've already promised to sell to a friend here in CA.

My concern is that buying the Z in CA and have it already registered with CA's DMV for a whole year then will move to Vegas in April 2012. I don't want to re-register twice at two places and wonder whether I can keep the CA registration while living in Vegas for a whole year before registering it with LV' DMV. Also does LV's DMV imposes any levy ie. high fee applied to an out of state car.

Any solution/tip to my dilemma are welcome and appreciated.
