I drove the '87 Carrera the other year from Philadelphia to Carmel, CA and sold the car to my son for $1 (gift). The first thing we did was had the emission checked by a private auto shop and it passed without any problem. And went to AAA the following day. Since it was an out-of-state vehicle, AAA would not be able to register it to the new owner. It had to go to DMV.

The following day, we went to DMV and had it inspected and checked (visual). An hour later, we went home with the new registration and two (2) tags on the car. I took the personalized plate from PA and later used it on my other car. I was not sure if the lady inspector could differentiate a CIS car from a Motronic one!!!!! She inspected the VIN tag, door jamb, and the engine bay. And that's it.

I was a little bit concern (worried) about the stories I read people say about the CA DMV protocal. To my surprised, it was a regular, conventional visual inspection.
