Is the seller responsible for emissions testing in Colorado?

[Zundfolge]

it is state law that any motor vehicle being sold for highway use and registration in an area requiring emissions testing must be able to pass.

This is what I was thinking ... well if the Porsche goes up for sale I'll just put in the ad; WILL NOT SELL TO ANYONE LIVING OR WORKING IN THE DENVER METRO AREA OR ANY OTHER AREA WHERE EMISSION TESTING IS REQUIRED.

Of course my brother (who lives in Missouri ... and will soon be moving to Las Vegas) wants me to give him first dibs on the car so that may solve my problem anyway.


Makes me sick that selling cars is getting more difficult than selling guns.

A friend of mine (and resident lurker here) is selling his maxima (MY97-98ish?) and his eddie bauer explorer (about the same year). I'm not sure what he's asking but I wanna say they're in the sub $4k range. I can pm his # if you're interested.

Thanks guys. I went and looked at a few cars tonight. I found a 1999 Isuzu Amigo at a dealership with under 100,000 miles that has piqued my interest. I'm going to back down there tomorrow with my cash and see what I can work out. I'd like to take it to a mechanic to get checked out though. I know that it at least needs shocks and an alignment.

even this will not CYA.

doesn't matter what you write in your loose leaf binder.
doesn't matter what you do or don't know.
I went in small circles with a seller about this.
he wound up paying a nice little fine because I couldn't get the blazer tested.

So all you need to write is "for off highway use only" on there?

I picked this up today. I think it comes with 31's from factory, I have to check. Also, one model comes with a Dana 44 axle in the rear from factory as well, but I don't think it is the model I bought.

Looks super clean Irving. I like the color too!

Thanks, let's just hope it lasts as long/well as my last car did. I actually paid to have this one checked out, and to my surprise they said it was in really good shape. It's got 97,000 miles and the last place it lived was in Alaska.

My last car I bought with 96,000 miles (same year, '99) and when I totaled it, it had over 174,000. I'd say that was money well spent.
