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 The Mikester |

This is all news to me.. In NY we have Emissions/Smog testing in 1 yr intervals.
I know that has nothing to do with Cali, but the smog check stays with the vehicle!! ie I sold a car a while back that had almost 9 months left on the inspection They buyer was happy because she didnt have to have the car inspected for 9 months! |
