I think so. In fact I have bought cars from California, paid an extra $1200 to ship it back to my state, and it still comes out cheaper. In fact or me that goes for the entire West Coast.

The pros here go to southern California for attending/buying at the factory sales and auctions, there must be good reasons.

I know we have the Port of Oakland but it doesn't seem to be as "bustling" as the port of Long Beach. Having traveled I-5 (from Norcal to Socal and back) over 150 times.... I always recalled seeing 18-wheelers with brand new cars only traveling northbound on I-5.
