It would be appreciated if you could please respond to the question I submitted on the 12th, thanks.
Hi, currently getting the answer to your question and will post asap. Thanks
Owner is unaware of any CA requirements other than the understanding that they have strict emissions standards. The car has a clear NJ title. If you would like to contact me: 973-768-6426 – thanks
Since this car was not originally imported for sale when new in the US, how has it been registered in the state of ownership? I live in California and concerned if this could get rejected for failure to meed Federal smog or safety issues? Since the owner is represented by a dealer, I would like some clarity, thanks.
