If you have a vehicle that you would like to sell and it will NOT (for whatever reason) pass inspection, take it to Mark's Automotive and have them do the inspection. The vehicle will be guaranteed to pass and you can legally sell the vehicle to an unsuspecting buyer.
My son, who is currently stationed in Iraq, came to visit and purchased a vehicle from an low-life POS that had the vehicle inspected at Mark's. The seller "knew someone at Mark's" and he recieved the inspection paperwork stating it "PASSED". Approximately 3 months ago, the transmission went out and I had the vehicle towed to Sunoco(by gate one).
Not thinking that anything else was wrong with the car and my son not returning for a while from his deployment, I informed the owner of the Sunoco that she could "take her time" with the vehicle. A week ago, she brought the vehicle into the garage to see about the transmission and the mechanic did a visual inspection. There was rust on the underside of the vehicle to the point that the floorboard was missing in some spots, the brake lines going from the front to the back were rotted to the point of breaking apart, there was a motor mount completely broken off, and a visable oil leak. All of these items are a automatic failure of the inspection and this was just part of the list.
I did call the state police as they are the ones that "watch" those with inspection licenses and because it is more than 30 days/1000 miles there is nothing they can do. My son drove this vehicle a week and then left to go back to Iraq, I drove it approximately 2-3 weeks before the transmission went out and there is NOTHING he can do other than salvage the vehicle.
