One thing you can count on, Uncle Sam, or in this case, Aaaahnold, are bound to get their cut.

Unfortunately, as I understand it, when you import a car into Canada, you have to go through the equivalent of the UK's MOT to get the car registered. If I'm correct, that would make it impossible for you to get the registration prior to importing the car.

You could check with Transport companies, but that's likely to equal, or come uncomfortably close, to the sales Tax total anyway.

Maybe, if you trusted someone from there, perhaps a member here, they could pick-up the car in SD and meet you in Las Vegas. Buy them a Bus ticket back to SoCal. It would certainly add some excitement to your trip.

I'd do it, but I'm 1000 mi. away from SoCal and by the time you were done, you wouldn't have saved much, if anything. Sorry, that's the best I can come up with.
