Welcome to FTE.

Who knows?

Buying a Vehicle From Out of State - Can You Register it in California? FFVR 29

Short version: You can't buy a out of state 49 state NEW vehicle and bring it to CA to be registered.

I'm pretty sure you can bring the used car here. BUT, it has to have all the OEM smog equipment and pass at the pipe as well, and meet it's OEM smog limits.

The emissions sticker will tell you if it's CA, 49 state or 50 state.

If it is at all practical, see if you can get it smogged here before you buy it. (if you are close enough)

If ANYTHING is tampered with, pass. You'll pay hell to restore emissions on a '92.

 

Depends on what part of Oregon you bought it from..........
Portland area and Medford/Grants pass area have DEQ testing...........But outside of that, no emissions required so it's likely a 92 will NOT pass Kalifornia standards.
