CA Mileage Question, CA DMV Options

[EdwardBlume]

I'm getting ready to take the ABM off non-op.

I bought the 914/6 in 2015 and it went straight into non-op status.

Now that I want to take it off. I have the non op reg, the title in my name, and I will be getting insurance.

I went to look at the odometer and it reads 2 miles. Yes, 00002 miles.

So would you tell the CA DMV that it has:

1) 2 miles
2) a rebuilt speedo with 2 miles
or 3) 100002 miles

I just don't want to buy any issues with my state.

I guess this would apply to insurance as well.

Thx

Thanks.

Yes, I'm going to AAA. 100002 seems like the safest.

I have an old whale tail plate that was on my 914 15 years ago. If I bring it in, can they reinstate it? or will they just take it?

It use to be if you removed a vanity plate from a car you had to reassign it to another vehicle or surrender it but I think that has changed. What might make a difference is whether you ever "removed" the plate in the eyes of the DMV, or simply moved out of state? When I took a vanity plate off my vintage Volvo, (the heart & "Volvos"), they let me keep them and said I could assign them to another car in the future. They have been sitting idle since 2005. Keep us posted on whether they let you do that or not.

I would claim 100,002 miles. A vehicle has to have at least 7,500 miles on it to import from out of state. Funny thing is that rule is to prevent people from buying new cars out of state and bringing them right in. I wonder what they'd think if you presented a 45 year old 914 with 2 miles on it. Bet there'd be some head-scratching!
