1. Transfer fee is $595...
2. I understand one may want to mention "excellent credit" to avoid headaches and dirtbags offerings to pay monthly payments if you keep it under ones name (NEVER DO THAT, there's a sucker born everyday) but you only need a 620 credit score...
3. With "must live in Cali" that isn't the rule, the rule is you must possess a Cali license...So theoretically you could move from Vegas, legitimately move to Cali but not qualify because you haven't applied for a Cali license...Same in the reverse, you could hold a license in Cali, move to Vegas, not apply for a NV license and therefore still qualify...
4. I wish the OP the best of luck but fear they'll need to kick in some extra money on top of paying the transfer fee to close the deal...
