The no "sales tax" is for Oregon residents only. As far as the red tape goes, I think it only applies to new cars brought into California. I don't think there would be any problem if it were brought back as a "used" car. You would need to register the car in Oregon or somewhere else before trying to register it in California. I used to live in California several years ago and I knew people who were bringing in non California models that way.
By the way, is California requiring emission testing on diesels there?

Emissions testing
Not to my knowledge- the 300TD has been excempt from smog checks since day 1.
As for used cars, I've heard that the requirement in CA is 7500 miles on a car to be considered used. So much for hoping to see more diesels here. I'm not even sure how VW TDI's are being obtained here. It's a shame that diesels are practically taboo here

1985 Nautical Blue 300CD Introduction
W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE ClassHow did I come to be the owner of this 1985 300CD? Having owned a W201, 2 W124s and a W126 300SD I had read and heard so much about the W123 cars that I knew this would be the next Benz for me.

Alternator woes
W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE ClassMy alternator keeps frying. I've had it repaired by a reputable vendor at least 3 times now. It will last about a week and then short out again.
