Looks like one way is simply to wait and buy a used vehicle out of state.
After a few months there should be demo-models for sale at dealerships or
returns on leases/repossessions etc. I wouldn't mind living in California
if it wasn't for the screwball laws and repressive regulations they have.

Kinda funny when you realize that mexico literally has no anti dumping or
ecological laws whatsoever. Ive heard stories from ex border patrol agents
about a rive down there that is like a toxic waste river... really just amazing

I'm no fan of the special smog rules California's government inflicts
on residents and others, especially the recent smog program changes,
so we likely agree in that regard.

But it's a good bed that the State you live in is "broke", too.

So don't throw stones; you likely live in a glass house.

Actually Oklahoma got rid of the vehicle inspections all because
the inspection stations weren't making enough off the 7$ charge.
So now we have to put up with idiots that don't/can't/won't maintain
their own vehicles. No brake lights, no head lamps (or just one),
bald tires... it's getting scary.
