Exactly what S13SilviaGirl says, try to get one in a DRY state away from the oceanside if you can.
Smog should not be a concern for you..if it'll pass federal smog when new, it will pass CA smog as new. Of course, maintenance is a valid concern. You'll just have to get a feel for how the seller cares for the car.
I imported a Dodge Stealth TT from Maryland about 3 years ago. It passed smog with flying colors, but it had the most incredibly rusted underside I had ever seen. The seller didn't tell me either, that @#$%&%#...
There is no additional smog procedures to go through. There is a bit of new paperwork, but that's it.
