off topic,, but the only thing I could think of reading your post is that if somebody saw that, they would think I searched the word "rapes" lol...Quote:

DEMAND that they give you a passed emissions sheet. Don't let them bullshit you and give you the credit for the amount, if it fails, it's on you. Make them go do it, it's the law (that the seller must provide one) and they damn well know it, they just don't want to do it. If it's an out of state vehicle (doesn't have a Colorado title) Colorado requires a VIN check. Which is also fucking stupid and an additional tax on your time and money. I believe the emissions places can do it, I know state patrol offices can. Make the dealer do it.
You'll also need a driver license (no idea why, but they wont' do it without ID) and proof of insurance (even though they have a database and can run the VIN thru it to see, just try cancelling your insurance and see how fast they figure it out, lazy bastards).
Prepare to be really pissed. Colorado fucking RAPES you on car registration. And since it's obviously not going into the roads, it is a good question where all this money is going. It's more than double what it costs in Kali
go early in the month (first 10 days) and go in the morning. DO NOT go at the end of the month (for either emissions or plates) it's a damn zoo.
Even though you'll get temporary plates (60 days), those aren't free, if you go in on the 60th day, you'll get charged for the two preceding months also.
