The PNO filing fee may be paid up to 60 days prior to the expiration date without late fees. If you file up to 90 days after the expiration date, you will be liable for late fees on the full registration amount.
If at any time the vehicle is operated or parked where it may be subject to citation, then full registration fees and penalties for that year become due."

I've also seen this approach be taken on vehicle that can't registered due to either road worthiness issues or that it won't pass the smog test. I'm a former born and raised long term California native that's seen this done before so buyer beware.
