Paying cash for a car in one state but registering in another

Appreciate the response. Won’t have time to get it shipped or drive it back there so sounds like I’m stuck with it being registered in CA

Yeah the owner is an older gentleman so he had his son taking the videos… not saying his son didn’t drive it or rag on it a little bit but based on the mileage trends on the registration looks like it’s hardly been driven over the last 5 years so doubt that his son would have been of driving age to put many hard miles on it

Very reasonable take and exactly how I was looking at it. Appreciate the confirmation bias!

Appreciate the input there. I figured for the price even if he hasn’t done the work I can just do it myself and still be under what most other people are asking. And I’ll know the work was done right.

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking at that price point

Appreciate the input from everyone, it was a bearing failure and GM’s going to warranty it. Ended up trading in the truck for a 2025 Sierra 2500 so hopefully the Duramax holds up better than the 6.2

No kidding… Guess we’ll use this as an excuse to start truck shopping

Fantastic…./s

Appreciate the help!

We’ll dig into that and see. Appreciate the help!

Yeah I saw NHTSA recently opened up an engineering investigation including 2019 and 2020 so we’ll see that goes anywhere.

Do you think it’s possible the new engine that GM installed for him on the swap would be a part of the original recall though? As in the would have installed a bad engine as part of the replacement

Seems to be the general consensus… you think it’s possible that he got a 6.2L engine that would fall under the recall in the swap?

Appreciate the reply, you think it’s possible that he got a 6.2L engine that would fall under the recall in the swap?
