Important questions about registration in California

[twobjshelbys]

The Montana LLC tax dodge is a thing of the past. Most states are on to the deal and if they find you've registered it and don't have a legitimate business will be mighty unhappy. A number of years ago the counties around Denver went looking for motor homes and boats with Montana registrations (easy to find since they are often parked outside). They were fined, had to pay the sales tax that was due and also registrations that had been avoided since the date of the fradulent Montana registrations. Some people were mightily unpleased.

I don't understand why people would do it on a Cobra. Sure, I had to pay sales tax on the purchase amount, but since it was registered as a 65 the plates were something like $50 every 5 years. (More if you have a vanity plate.)
