If the destination state is one that follows California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions, then be careful about buying a new (<7,500 miles) car from a state that does not. For example, California itself says that people moving to California bringing in a non-CARB-emissions vehicle need to have registered it previously in another state.

For other 16 CARB-following states, check their DMV web sites for rules about new vehicles.
