Bought my C5 in Arizona and drove it back home. Be sure
to take it to DMV within the time limit to register. I didn't have title
and waited until I received it. Cost me extra$$$$
Good Luck

Get it smogged before you take it to DMV.
Prepare to pay a few thousand for taxes.

When registering an out of state vehicle are you required to take it to a SMOG REF or is a regular smog all thats needed?

C6's shouldn't need to be smogged yet since they're less than 5 years old I thought? You just need to pay a smog abatement fee.

Have your smog slip, bill of sale, and proof of insurance ready when you go to DMV. No smog ref, just any ol' smog station will do. I didn't have my smog slip and they gave me a two month grace period to get it smogged.

Update: I am not buying out of state as of now. The seller flaked last night at midnight! Said the car was not for sale. I think I'll fish closer to home. For now
