i have a car that im tryin to buy its 1 grand its a 1991 honda accord and i need to know exactly what need to be done for it to pass inspection so if anyone has the actual code of regulatios like ride height emissions and all that i would greatly appreciate a site for it
Answer
Well older cars are having a hard time right now passing the emissions inspection. I'm not sure how they do it in older cars because 1996 and newer have the computer thing that automatically checks it. I think they check with some sort of chemical paper or something, the emissions have to be within a certain level. I strongly recommend not buying a pre 1996 car because you might only get to drive it a year or two before failing the inspection, that is if you don't fail it the first time. It's not worth paying to replace the exhaust or the catalyc converter just to pass the inspection. It's completely up to you. As for the official info, google virginia dmv and you will see the link. Hope this helps!!

classic car inspection?
dennis s
how often do i get it inspected
Answer
Hi Dennis,
The answer depends on your state division of motor vehicles and how they classify your car. In some states a classic car is a vehicle over 20 years old, in others it is a vehicle over 25 years old.
For example, my car is over 25 years old and is not required to be inspected according to the rules fo rmy state. However, it DOES have to have all of the safety components available as delivered from the factory intact and in working condition. My car came from the factory with lap and shoulder seat belts, so I am required to have those in working condition in my car. I am also exempt from annual emissions inspections.
Don't forget to check on the insurance regulations for your car as well. They can be different for classic cars depending on if they wear classic car tags or standard tags.
Here is a great website that is a jump site to all of the motor vehicle administrations in the US:

If you need info on tags and titling your classic car, this website will help you go to those pages for your state also.
Good luck! Enjoy your classic car.
