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

This is what it sounds like to me:

Wife "Sell your car, you have too many damn Porsches"
Husband "Ok, honey, car is for sale"
Mike "I like that car, I want it"
Husband "Price is not negotiable (because I really don't want to sell it)"
Mike "OK, if it is as presented that's ok. I'll get a PPI, you get a smog"
Husband "OK" (Damn, I don't really wanna sell it)
Mike "PPI went well, go do the smog and we've got a deal"
Husband "uh, well, when you come up here we'll do that" (cause I really don't wanna do it, cause I wanna keep it)
Mike "Damn, I'm out"
Husband "Haha! I get to keep it a bit longer!"

Just my 2 cents.
