i heard from a friend that if your car is older then 20 years old that you dont need to smog test anymore is that true?

 

depends on the state My state is 25 years

 

In CA that is not true. Its pre-75' and you don't have to smog it.

 

Yeah in AZ it's 25 years...That's why it's legal to import cars that old also

 

In Oklahoma you can drive the car off the lot and desmog it......gotta love it...

pre-75 true doesnt require smog anymore but 76 and newer require smog even if its 30 years or older. it doesnt roll over every year now. so if your car is 76+ your assed.

 

that stinks. where i live, in VA, i have no emissions.. but where i used to live, also in VA, i did every 2 years.. it's by county here.

 

I live in md, and just recently put historic tags on my 84 accord, so no emissions and cheap insurance.

Added bonus, historic tags on a honda is pretty baller. Not enough pre 88 owners take advantage of this.

 

us okies have to have something good in our state :-)<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by CarNutCertifies &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">In Oklahoma you can drive the car off the lot and desmog it......gotta love it...</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

TN it is 25 years

 

in IL anything pre obd2 doesnt need emissions

 

nc 20 years

 

Unless your state has laws to the contrary (CA), any car over 25 years old has federal DOT/EPA exemption.

This means that it really isn't subject to any sort of regulations whatsoever, other than maybe needing to have turn signals and headlights.
