Smog inspection, slightly off topic Options

[mikester]

I'm looking at purchasing a car in CA...

Smog inspections must be done prior to completion of the sale and at the sellers expense according to the title instructions.

The car is in the Bay area and I am in the LA area, I was planning on flying up to inspect the car following a prepurchase inspection by a good shop.

The guy swears the car is "one of the tightest 911sc's he's ever seen."

My question:

Is it too much to expect that the seller have this smog inspection done before I get there? He's going to ahve to do it anyway and it's good for 90 days if I don't buy the car. If it doesn't pass (which it has never failed) He'll have to get things right before he can sell it anyway.

Too much or not?

Thanks buds

I kind of agree.

I don't want to travel up there if this isn't done. It isn't asking much, a smog inspection by his own quote is only $100. That means I'll be leaving without the car and I've heard too many horror stories about buying far from home.

So, if he doesn't get that done before I come up - I'm not coming up and I'm not buying it.

I would do it if my 914 needed it to sell.
