Another California registration adventure

[twobjshelbys]

Go ahead and explain how a non-resident can register a vehicle, where all states that I know of require that you be a resident to do so. Waiting...

That is the Montana scheme: You create a LLC held by a third party to register the car under its name and then drive it with Montana plates. Every state considers that tax evasion and if caught, will cost you lots more than just registering it correctly to begin with. If your method involves creating a shadow corporation it's probably not legal.

There are legitimate businesses that register themselves in other states, e.g., legitimate corportate headquarters for many companies are in Nevada. But the two person LLCs in Montana are not passing muster.

Waiting for an explanation. Explanations not out in the open usually have issues. If it's good, let everyone know.

I suppose you could buy it for a buck, register it (and pay the taxes collected from the other party) and then sell it back for a buck.
