Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking at buying in California. To have the title changed to my name they want the state tax; 6.25% on purchase price of the car. I think as an out of state resident I shouldn't have to pay this. Is it enough at the Canadian border to present the California title and/or ownership with the sellers name on it and signed on the back for transfer purposes? Or do I have to show up at the border with a title and/or ownership that has my name on it? The California DMV also says it can take up to 6 weeks to get me a copy of the ownership.

Thanks!
