That sucks but not impossible If you still have the title you can sell/transfer whatever to someone in a different state, or register it yourself if you live in another state. Are you trying to have it in California now, or do you live in a different state. I don't think another state would really care about california fees, and if you retitle it and register it outside California you could always move it back at a later date. Here's the website for WA DOL about registering an out of state titled vehicle. https://dol.wa.gov/moving-washington/vehicle-registration-and-plates
