If you sell a car in Sept. and it is smogged until DEC. of that year, are you responsible for the smogging?
Typically at renewal of the vehicle's registration.
vehicle was smogged last year and now notified to smog it again this year
The past tense is smogged.
To title and register a vehicle in CA you will need to have the title from the previous state where it was register but if the car is financed you can get registration only using the registration card from where the vehicle was last registered. The vehicle will have to be smogged and verified by DMV, local law enforcement or a licensed vehicle verifier. Once the vehicle has been smogged and the vehicle verification has been completed you can take the title or the last issued registration card along with the smog and verification to DMV and fill out a REG 343 (application for title and registration) pay the fees due and walk away with plates and registration! To make it simple I listed the needed items below. 1. Title or registration card from the previous state where operated 2. Verification of Vehicle ( must be done by DMV, law enforcement, or lic'd Vehicle Verifier) 3. Passing smog certificate 4. REG 343 ( DMV application for title and registration
As long as the vehicle has been inspected you can.
Get it registered and pay for it or sell it.
Depending on the context, someone is saying that they intend to sell. If a vehicle has been repossessed, for example, the lender can notify of an intent to sell, to recoup losses on the unpaid part of the loan.
In most states if your bill of sale says "sold as is" you have smogged the buyer. It's a good idea to keep a signed copy of the bill of sale also. Some buyers never put the car in their name. You may get later get parking tickets and even be sued when the buyer wrecks someone else.
It's exempt
If you have a lien on your vehicle, you can sell it for any amount. The vehicle is still subject to the lien which means that the purchaser can lose the vehicle if the lien holder collects on it.
Either pay off the lien and then sell the vehicle, or sell the vehicle and use the money to pay off the lien.
