Is it legal to sell a car without smog a check in ca?
AzazelDigp9424
The seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification that is less than 90 days old at the time of the sale or transfer.
The inspection is not required if a regular smog check was submitted to DMV less than 90 days before the sale.
Gas-powered cars that are four or less model years old don't need to be checked, and some cars are exempt.

== == According to California state law at least, the seller is responsible for making sure the vehicle he/she is selling has/can pass a smog check.

" In fact, if a seller refuses to cooperate with a buyer, the buyer is encouraged by the state of California to take him/her to court, where he or she will be made to pay all repair costs.But don't just take my word for it.
