Potential buyer must provide current drivers license and proof of insurance prior to test drive. The car stereo is stuck on one station in AM. CD works fine. There is curb rash on the RR and RF rims, but easily repairable if desired.

 

Nice car! I'm not interested but whats the deal with this?

 

Thanks! Its a defect in the radio for some reason it doesnt switch over to FM. Otherwise CD's and AM work great.

 

does the chick come with the car too? lol jk

 

Will it pass SMOG/C.A.R.B. legal??

 

No.

 

So how will you sell it? You as the seller have to provide the SOMG cert in Cali.

 

It is my understanding that new cars do not need to be smogged for four years.

 

^^ That is true, but I think it's 5 years as long as you're the original owner of the new car.

It's my understanding when you sell any car to private party, DMV requires it to pass smog when it's sold and it's the Sellers responsibility to to provide the smog certif to the Buyer.

With no certif., the Buyer will not be able to get it registered with DMV.

 

Thought it was six years for the new owner but I may be mistaken.

 

Yes it is 4 years but when you sell the car you are no longer the owner and the new owner does not get that benefit. So basically they would be buying a car they could not register for the street.

 

^^^ Hmmm...it's longer than 4 years.
Bought my wife a new vehicle in May 2001 and have yet to have it smog tested. May of 07 it will have it's first required smog test = 6yrs.

Anyways...yeah that's a sweet Z, but good luck getting it to pass smog.
It may be ok from the tailpipe emissions end, but it will fail visually b/c the APS Turbo is not CARB approved or could be pending approval, idk.

G/L

 

I'm gald that hte Gov'nator got the SOMG check exteneded to 6 years. I was not sure of the extension but I was sure of the 4 year rule. He may be able to sell that Z to someone on a non-op basis and the new owner can contact APS to see where they are on the CARB cert. Long shot but maybe the only shot in Cali.

 

Cool I thought it was 6....
Anyone have news on the APS CARB certificate?

 

According to the DMV website, the 2005's are exempt of smog inspection on a transfer of ownership:

"Beginning January 1, 2005, vehicles 4 or less model-years old are exempt from the Smog Check inspection requirement upon change of ownership and transfer of title transactions with DMV. In 2006, this exemption includes model-years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. "
