Yes, a dealer can sell you a car that will not pass a smog inspection, but they are typically required to disclose any known issues that could affect its emissions. In many states, such as California, dealers must provide a smog certification for used vehicles sold, unless the car is exempt or sold "as-is." If a car fails a smog inspection, the seller may be responsible for repairs, depending on local laws and the terms of the sale. Always check your local regulations for specific requirements and protections.
