Wondering about a dealer swap from a California dealer.
Does a car with california emissions affect anything?
Performance? Resale value outside california? Certain repair or maintenance costs? Anything?

Interesting...so the 0LM option code for California Emissions in the dealer quote is just a legal formality?

california cars used to have additional smog controls on them - I had a Mustang from California and it had an additional smog pump driven by the serpentine belt.

It may be that newer cars meet the California regulations without additional controls.
