I'm Military overseas. I sold my 01 ST right before moving to Turkey and I'm just about finished with my tour here. I've found a 2008 ST V8 that I want to buy but things are getting tricky. My next duty assignment is Travis AFB. I understand that a vehicle must have more than 7500 miles on it before coming to cali, and I know that I would normally be exempt because I'm military but here is the problem.... First, I'm a California resident. Have been for 9 years. Second, the truck will be purchased from out of state and never previously registered by myself. As I understand it, if I previously registered it another state I'm good to go because I'm military. If it comes down to it, and I'm not able to skirt the emission requirements, will it pass California SMOG? The lady at the DMV says passing smog may be my only chance.......
