California
Why wouldn't they?
As far as I know, any recent vehicle that is registered in any lower 48 state is registerable in all ... subject area to that states emission requirements of course.
And as far equally I know, the Jetta, and most other newer vehicles, run across California's standards ... which seems to be the 'norm' these days due to the 'green factor'; which has it'south good points for some ... and bad points for others ... depending on where y'all are in sitting on the fence.

Yes, not a trouble at all. The 7500 mile gig does not employ in your case, since you would have had information technology every bit a AL resident, and in effect becoming a CA resident. And besides, they desire your registration money! I think the current DMV rules gives you 10 days to annals. 
Best of luck in your motion.

Actually.......
So if one buys a new car in California, with zero miles, they cannot register information technology. Is that what you are saying?
If and so, accept reason to dispute that due to having myself purchased many new cars over the years in California .... along with millions of other California residents.
What are you basing this statement on?

Just stated - if a diesel powered vehicle has less than vii,501 miles on the odometer, then the CA DMV will not annals it.
They don't care if it has been registered or not in another state.
Trust me. I know the constabulary and I'g basing my statements on facts. Unfortunately, information technology is the Police here in California.
Actually if that is true, that will work to the do good the guy making the motion from AL to CA. That would mean he can end the portion of registration LEFT in AL (up to a full year) and would salve that portion not existence registered in CA!! The law does not say it HAS to exist registered at precisely 7,501 miles. So if it were cheaper to RE annals in AL.... For his sake, I hope you are correct, merely as I have noted past process logic, probably is not.
Really glad the actual verbiage was posted. Can't become out, for getting out eh?

Agree
I stand corrected. After posting, I Googled the issue, and was 'educated'. Times have inverse since I was a CHP officer over there. Boy what a change. Too much 'green' in the air.....

Vindication
Well now. In looking at my posting, looks similar I may be a bit vindicated. In information technology, I referred to the unit beingness registered in another lower 48 ... don't know nothing about the out of premises ones.
Every bit far every bit I know, any recent vehicle that is registered in any lower 48 state is registerable in all ... discipline to that states emission requirements of form.rdkern said:
c) This affiliate shall not apply to any motor vehicle having a document of conformity issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 United states of americaC. Sec. 7401 et seq.) and originally registered in another state by a resident of that state who subsequently establishes residence in this state and who, upon registration of the vehicle in this land, provides satisfactory evidence to the Department of Motor Vehicles of the previous residence and registration. This subdivision shall become operative 180 agenda days after the state board adopts regulations for the certification of new direct import vehicles pursuant to Section 43203.5.
Basically - if it's a "49state vehicle" purchased by a resident of another country, registered in the other country, information technology is an exception to the rules.
I propose you don't know the police equally well as y'all believe. It is perfectly legal if you lot see the requirements (residence in other state, registered in other state, then motion).

Ditto what RDKern said... stuipd laws... personally, I recollect if everyone drove one of these 'dirty' VW diesels, they could terminate worrying about the smaaag.
What is Actually stupid... the gasser burn more then they otherwise could so that the emission controls will convert the 'bad stuff'. It's all a big stupid trounce game. And Vanquish, Modile, BP, Exxon etc are playing the con game.

__. Absolutely! Cars are but a fraction of the "pollution problem", and then any change you make in "cars" has to exist factored down. And it's been proven that the x% of the cars on the route that are the "dirtiest" (the oldest, most poorly maintained) make 90% of the emissions into the air.
__. And so Sidney Legislator stands upwardly and says "we're going to cut air pollution from cars past dropping the commanded pollutants from new cars past 50%". It sounds like "he's really doing something", doesn't it? But the standards are already so low and new cars are such a small role of the overall trouble when y'all do the percentages, the outcome would exist a fraction of 1% of a decrease in the existent corporeality of pollutants that really go into the air. Just y'all'd crusade all the issues that "California Only" approvals and restricted model ranges and more than people being encouraged to keep older cars, etc.
__. I tin can't think of a meliorate manner to describe it than "Information technology's all a big stupid shell game". Well put, Frank. And you Californian's y'all're suffering non being able to buy the cars that you want and would work best for you and you're suffering the financial costs that come from all this "beat out game" for nothing. It's sad, really.

Hi-
I am looking to buy a 2006 TDI and may possibly be moving to California at some point. Anybody know if they will allow me to register information technology?
My understanding of the question is that teeps is going to buy a (lets for the sake of argument a brand new) TDI in some other land and register it in that state because he is a resident. Then later on (lets just say within two months) move the California for permanent residence.
If I recall, I call back the police force states that if you lot are a resident of some other state and move to California to take upward residence there, so you can register the TDI even if you have less then 7500 miles. They will not keep you from non having a motorcar if you are moving in.
Merely I you lot are a current resident of California, then yous are subjected to the 7500 mile rule.
One matter to notation and I can't verify this, but I heard that if a California resident/visitor tries to bring in and registers car in California. But found that it had less then 7500 miles upon entry in California, of course they will non register it. What too happens, is that car now is permanently black balled in the state of California and can never exist registered in that state ever in its service life. They are very serious on this, so you lot are SOL and accept unload it in another state. So if you are buying used auto, make sure get a vehicle history written report and look for funny things like it hit California's DMV but so it was registered in another state soon afterwards. If you see anything similar that, question information technology and check to run into if at that place might be any problems in registering it in California.

And those same Californians go on electing Sidney Legislator, who keeps writing 'tougher' laws, which keep providing for 'tougher' regulations, which keep being enforced by the tenacious, e'er-growing bureaucracy, which costs more money, etc., etc. Perhaps seismic tremors cause brain damage?
State motto = Eureka! (I have found it!). Only brand sure you really know the definition of "it".
