Smog Issue
Just took my 87 minnie to get smogged 4 days after purchase... Didn't pass.. Been told that the Seller is responsible for paying for smog in California even after purchase..Anyone know the skinning ...

You can now go six (6) years w/o a smog test for new cars.
Owner still pays the fee - just *NO* test required.
(Slick deal ....for the *State*, huh?)
Wonderful - especially for the small business folks that invested thousands of bucks in testing equipment - (dynos aren't cheap) and were assured that cars would need a test every 2 years.
CA sold 'em down that River too!.:(

All new cars are exempt from testing for the first 5 years, then they get tested every 2 years - it's been that way seemingly forever. You pay a registration fee every year - that's completely separate from any smog test fees. You only pay a smog test fee when you get a smog test.
