you're not required to smog a non op vehicle... how can you when the engine is out ? i'm sure SLO wasn't insulting ur intelligence and neither am i..... and i did ask DMV during my registration cuz i was curious

both FD's i've purchased in my life time i've had to smogg the car after i purchased it before i can fully register my title with the DMV. Eventhough the owners had smogged less than a year before (which means its still valid) .. but DMV will only accept it if it was done within 6 months. Seller's not required to smog the car, but buyer can request it before the purchase in mutual agreement.


but back to the topic.... $1900 for smog is just retarded.... plus its done after cheap purchase of $2500 .... makes me wonder if he's super rich or otherwise...

I realize that's the whole purpose of non-op, but the conversation was HOW to get out of the responsibility of smogging the car. Basically finding a loophole in the law.

So if you buy a running car and it's not smogged by the seller you are in for a world of hurt. Unless... the price of the car reflects an unexpected catastrophic failure, which is very unlikely that the seller would do that for you (especially with a car that runs).
