Easily .
The govt. wants old vehicles off the road to help sell more news ones (as if everyone in American could afford or wants a new one) so they have punitive and escalating late fees and penalties .
It only takes a couple three years to pass $1,000.00 in California, why you see so many really cherry old people's vehicles in junk yards .
Yes, _sometimes_ you can re register it out of state but many states now have reciprocation with the California DMV preventing this .
This could well be a good deal ($1,600.00 for a solid old S Klasse with clear title and current tags sounds good to me) but most will shy away from any vehicle here with any sort of DMV problem because they work diligently at making a simple process difficult .
