It may very well not be able to pass smog if it's completely stock with 100k. The pre-cat is likely dead, which may have killed the main-cat in the process. I would also expect to have to replace that engine VERY soon. I'm surprised it has made it 100k with the nuclear reactor, er I mean pre-cat, still on there.
Also, even if everything is 100%, these cars have to be fully warmed up in order to pass smog. If the operator boosts during the test, it's over.....

Only get it if you plan on putting in a new motor and a new set of turbos right away. Make sure you budget for that. Keep your present car as a daily driver while you are overhauling this one, you will definitely need it.
