What year is it? Because it was only very recently that that became legal again.

Also, the California-legal current diesels require you to replace the Bluetec fluid at regular intervals - in other words, you have to refill your car with very expensive sheep urine or your car becomes illegal.

Not entirely true.Several of the diesels currently being sold here require diesel exhaust fluid but both VW and Audi sell at least one model (same engine,I believe) that doesn't require it.

That is pretty much a non-issue, as the urea tanks are usually big enough to last the interval between services. So when you do an oil change, you do an urea solution change as well. Bulk prices for AdBlue urea solution are approx. $2 per gallon which comes down to about $1 per thousand miles.

Yes, there have been rip-offs, but when you pay $40 for a gallon of AdBlue, that's because of a criminal repair shop, not because of the technology itself.

Cats? Yeah, I have cats! They’re at home eating.

Nothing that a good acetylene torch, some new exhaust piping, and an engine recalibrate wouldn’t take care off. Screw that urea injection crap!
