Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
The selling of a automobile without a smog certification
I sold a vehicle 9 months ago with a written agreement."This vehical is sold in as is condition for parts or restoration only buyer agrees to take full responsibility for smoging and any smog eq. that might be missing or needed." Now I'm being sued because it won't pass.The truck was in great condition at the time of sale including a fresh professionally rebuilt motor,which I had smoged after my rebuild, 6 months prior.I also took off $200.00 to off set her trouble for smogging the truck that I'm sure at the time would have passed. HELP! THANKS!!!
