So I got a ticket for modified emissions and am required to go to a state ref. If I sell the car does the new owner still have to go to the California state ref?thanks
according to the California DMV website a smog check is one of the things you need to complete for the car before the title can be transferred. So you will not be able to sell to a california resident and complete the transaction.
My guess is that even for an out of state buyer you will need the smog check because there is nothing that I could find regarding different procedures for an out of state buyer
so if I can pass smog I'll be cool?
he said my novi wasnt carb legal, which it is and i showed him the EO# on it, but he still didnt believe me.
i have full exhaust, but he didnt even say shit about that... he said my novi wasnt carb legal, which it is and i showed him the EO# on it, but he still didnt believe me. Gave me some bs about the intake tubing.
The car will pass smog. It has with similar exhaust before.
I just want to see if i can just sell the car so i dont have to hassle with the whole inspection thing.
If the new owner doesnt have to do anything, but smog it as well then i'm not holding back any info from him/her.
I dont have any papers, just the EO# printed on the blower and paxton's website saying the blower is 50 state legal as well.
If you are selling the car in California you will be liable to disclose to the purchaser that you were ticketed and that although you feel it is carb legal, the officer didnt agree. As long as you give the purchaser notice, you will be okay. But if you dont give the person notice, and they get snagged because of your omission, they can come back and have you held liable in a civil action.
Maybe the OP can request the paperwork from Paxton and take that to court. Just a suggestion and keep it in the glove box. :shrug:
It doesn't help. The EO plaque could be fake or ripped from another device for all the cop knows. Basically, you're at the LEO's discretion regardless of proof.
Being that the blower was stamped with the EO number, wouldn't that be more physical proof than a feeling? I'm asking because your statement makes it sound like "he just feels its legal", where he has the proof right on the unit. I've heard of others having gone through the same, where the officer ignores the EO number and cites them anyway.

So the paper work itself would need to be present. Thank you.
