I hope this is the right area to post this...I recently bought a 2004 FJR from a guy in CA, this is also where I live. The guy bought it from another guy in Florida early last year. When the purchase happened in FL the FJR had 6900 miles on it and that's what was documented on the tiltle. The guy I bought it from then rode the FJR back to CA and had close to 10,000 miles when he entered CA proper. The guy then tried to register the FJR in CA but good old DMV told him no because he bought it with less than 7500 miles on it, regardless of where he bought it. I know what your thinking...why did you buy the FJR given the circumstances. Well, I did not know all the above and I did not know the nuiances of the Health & Safety Code statute 43156(a). I have been battling DMV for a week over this and it appears I'm getting no where. Fortunately the guy I bought it from will refund my money but that's not what I want! I thoroughly enjoy my FJR and want to somehow register it in CA (it currently has 13,000 miles). If anyone has experience, expertise or advice with this H&S statute or a different interpratation than above, please help me.
