Purchased a vehicle from business owner jim, he was well aware of the law, and didn't smog the vehicle he sold me, at the end of the day, it went from $1500.00 to $1840.00. After me first attempt at getting it smogged for $50.00 with out of state lic plates, it didn't pass that morning, according to the rat that did it, it needed a catalitic converter, showed jim paperwork when i went by his shop, he says, come by at 5:30 pm. Got there at that time, he says, well, I just purchased $100.00 worth of parts, so I said ok, I'll pay you for them, and $50.00 labor for 45 min it took him, paid him, and he says, bring it by on the other side of my shop to the smog guy I deal with. Next day, I took it there, his guy failed the test, with a whole ration of different problems. It was Friday, I tried to get a hold of him, after finding out, he was responsible for the vehicle's smog cert., thought about it over the weekend, called him on Sunday, talked two days ago for refund he spent my money.
