Great that you bought this truck. What I'm trying to figure out is this:

The folks at CA DMV (my favorite Hell) told me that after five years CA vehicles "dropped off" their system. So, when you go to register them,
it's like starting fresh......No back fees...none of that stuff. Maybe an inspection. But, mostly, not even that.

Was I misinformed from the horse's mouth? Or, did this truck stay in the system because of something about the "replacement tag"?

$750 in fees or not, you got a nice truck. Especially for the price.
