D2's truck was totaled over three weeks ago and she just found out today the amount insurance will give her. H and I are thinking of using this an opportunity for him to get a new car, and we'd let her buy his car from us. I am thinking about driving the car out there, probably sooner rather than later (that's a whole 'nother thread... making a trip from IL to CA by myself, but I'm kind of looking forward to it and I have time on my hands). So I'm wondering if anyone here (well, I'm sure someone has, but are they willing to share their experience) has done a title transfer from out-of-state plates into CA, getting CA plates... how difficult it is, what are the costs, etc. Would the California DMV be the place to get the answers? If this is going to be a bigger pain than it's worth, then she will find something out there. I know CA has some pretty strict rules about cars.
