All GM vehicles pass federal emissions standards. We are not familiar with CA emissions standards as we are located in Tampa FL. As the only dealer giving big discounts on HDs almost all of our allocation is spoken for before it hits the ground. If you would like to order a unit, the same discounts you see online would be applicable to your specific order. We are the largest dealer in the SE and 2-time dealer of the year unfortunately that leaves us with more customers than vehicles. IF you are patient we can get you what you want at the advertised priced.
