Sell a car w/ expired registration?

[alfzer0]

What is the name of your state? CA

I moved to California from Indiana about 8 months ago. Last month my Indiana titled and registered vehicles' registration tags expired. The title for the car is in my name. I also do not have insurance on this vehicle. I would like to sell this car to a private party residing in California, is it legal to do so w/ expired registration? Thanks for your replies in advance, -Jeff

Contact your county vehicle registration officials and ask them.

Yes, you can sell it to them, but you are liable for the smog. The buyer will have to pay reg fees and tags or you can both split that or whatever, but the big thing is the smogging in California. It is up to the seller to make sure the car is smoggable before selling it.
