Registering a car in CA with Pink Slip
Hey all,
Here is my situation, I bought a used car in Tijuana Mexico, these cars are purchased cheap on auctions from the US and then sold at a good price. I got a 2002 VR6 GLX Jetta for 2200 dollars! Before I cross the border with it I'd like to register it to my name. I have the pink slip with me, can I just go to the DMV and process it?
I read that the car needs to be smogged before initiating the registration process. That means I need to have the car in the US before initiating the registration process? I need help on this because I am worried I bought a car I can't 1. Cross the border with and 2. Register it to my name.
Please advise.
Thank you!!!

Oh and I will try to go to the DMV on monday and ask.
Wrong country but this discussion may give you some food for thought until you can get to DMV or until someone who's done it posts in here.

I think you'll need an HS-7 form too. (pdf file). Here's some US Customs links as well.
