Yes, you will. Get it fixed before going to the inspection station.

what if i get it registerd in maryland

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

Depends on whether or not that county requires emissions. I believe there is no way around inspection. Your best bet is to google the laws where you plan to register the vehicle.

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

Well, first you actually have to live there. If you don't live there, it's illegal and fraudulent to register a car there. Second, you'd still have to get a Maryland inspection and some Maryland counties, specifically the ones all around DC, require emissions testing, so you may not be saving yourself anything.

ok thanks

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

read the VA DMV website.. if you have a valid Test paper from the last 12 months, then you can register the car in Fairfax County....

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

If you dont want to/cant afford to fix the car so that it can legally pass inspection/emissions then I would look for one that doesn't need anything.

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

all it needs is a new turbo i was just wondering becuase the guy im getting it from sad its old enough to get historic tags and i wouldnt need to got threw emissions if you know any one selling a turbo that would fit let me know

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

It's not old enough.

My Dad's '84 VW Rabbit needed emissions in PWC.

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

Regester it as a street rod = no emissions/lax inspections

though it has mileage per year limits

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

whats the mileage limit

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

Not much info on the DMV site, check the state laws.

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

dont quote me on this but i believe its 6000 a year.....but i would just get the damn thing fixed *as long as your getting it already for a good price, if not, than dont buy it....it sounds like its goin to turn into a hassle. If the previous owner didnt keep maintenance up enough to worry about the TURBO, than god knows what he was lacking as far as general maintenance.....

Re: inspection and emission qestions
 

yea im getting it for a good deal im going to replace the turbo and put a new head gasket on it becuase there famous for popping head gaskets
