Need help with MD inspection

Need help with MD inspection. I am going to be buying a car that is not running and need to get it inspected. Obviously since the car is not running it will be hard to get it to the inspection station, where it would fail horribly anyways.

So what i am looking for is if any one knows someone that would be willing to pass my car for MD inspection. I would be willing to compensate anyone that can help out.

Thanks,
Austin

Why do you need to get it inspected / tagged / etc now? Why not wait till it's running? You can still get the title transferred and get insurance if you want. Always been what i've done.

If you need a loan to buy a non-running vehicle, you really don't need said vehicle

You're not much of a car enthusiast are you?


US 1 up the road from my place only fails the important things. They won't bug you about non-stock gauges, wiring, etc. Only real safety problems, steering, tires, turnsignals, etc.

My white FC passed MD inspection legally with a blown motor.

Sorta, it started and moved well enough to take it off the trailer.

Yes sir, I'm quite a car enthusiast. I own 2 RX-7's currently(FB and FC) and I've owned a 75 Mazda Rotary Pickup. I like to keep myself out of debt(Although sounds like an oxymoron from the vehicles I've listed LOL)
