CA Registration help

[Clayboy]

That sounds very strange to me...when I bought my SPF in 2007 I simply took the pink slip that showed that it was registered as a SPCN to my local DMV and they changed the ownership. I didn't have to jump through any flaming hoops except for the big check it took to get out of the place. Good luck with the bureaucrats.

Something is not correct here. When I sold my last Cobra in 2009, all we did was go to DMV and sign the Pink slip and they gave the new owner a new title. The SB100 was transferred along with the car. It applies to the car, only, and is transferable every time the car is sold and registered in California.

Here is the wording right off of the DMV's site:

SPCNS Certificates of Sequence cannot be transferred to a different vehicle or reissued in someone else's name. The seller of a vehicle must provide the buyer with the SPCNS Certificate of Sequence along with the bill of sale and any additional registration documents.

Thus, it remains with the vehicle, and is transferred (like a VIN number) to the next buyer. You are not trying to change the name on it. It is like the license plate number. Goes from one owner to the next.

Read through this thread. Key point is that the car was originally registered in 1994 and later transferred to the current owner. SB100 didn't exist in 1994. The car was assigned some sort of BAR tag, but it wasn't SB100

Any car that is currently registered in CA under SB100 can be sold and the registration will transfer to the new owner as smog exempt under SB100.

He states that the car has a SPCNS sticker with the SB100 exemption on the car. So, someone either got the exemption after purchasing the car in order to legally register it and pass smog requirements, OR the sticker is bogus. My bet is on the former.
