Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Hmm, seems I have it backwards then. If that is the case, how can I, as a buyer, be certain that the vehicle I'm buying will pass emissions?

Buyer beware. It may not pass.Originally Posted by Irving
You can personally require the seller to have one before you will buy it making it a contingent to the sale. This makes your negotiating price position usually not as good though.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
Ugh, buying a used car without much money sucks...

I will agree. The wife has needed something to replace her old Astro van that made it through 4 kids and over 180,000 miles. We have looked on and off for 5 months. The number of vehicles in the $5K range right at 100K miles that had been driven into the ground was staggering.
The one or two we found that may have worked were gone by the time we got to them. On top of that with the gas prices going up we watch cars that magically increased in price by the week.
But we kept at it. I even started looking at cars that were outside my target.
A couple of weeks ago we found it. 2 owner, 100k miles, Colorado car, always been maintained and serviced and clean as a pin. Had a maintenance log showing everything and a clean carfax. Drives and works like new. $4700 out the door after everything.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
When I bought my new to me (05) Jeep back in Feb, I got a coupon for a free E-test with it, had to have it done within 3 business days though. That was bought from one of the local Jeep dealerships.

I think I'm just going to end up going to a dealership, getting a crappy loan, then refinancing in a few months when my credit goes back up.

Sniper has a link and all the info.

I knew I'd seen that info on here before. Thank Bowtie. I think I'm going to try and get a used Honda Element.

I am so making fun of you now
I mean even more than before
If you're buying from a "lot" then usually they'll have that done for you. If it's a private seller then it's up to the buyer as part of the registration requirement at the DMV. We've had a situation before, the seller we were buying from, has agreed to get the emissions done prior to the sale. Maybe this is an option for you. Discussing the cost of the testing was also a part of that conversation. For our situation it wasn't so much the cost of the testing but the time to get it done. If you're a serious buyer I don't see a situation where the seller would refuse such a request, unless of course it won't pass.
