Moving to LA and want to bring a 2008 Civic from out of state with less than 7500 miles on it.The car was brought new in Colorado. Honda Service says that all 2008 Civics will pass Cali emissions without a problem. I find this surprising.

It is my understanding that any vehicle with less than 7500 miles that is imported from a Federal Emission State is considered a new car and that it must pass Cali Emissions. And that a car with more than 7500 miles is considered a used car and only has to pass Federal Emission Standards.

Does anyone know if 2008 Civics are all certified to pass California Emission Standards?

Any other considerations involved when bringing in a car from out of state?
