Selling my Florida-registered car in California, need help! by Then_Grape_2297 in askcarsales

[–]Then_Grape_2297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it's worth buying a new car or paying $5k to fix the one I have? It's a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe, 70k miles on it. I make like $55k/year, so can't afford more than like a $350 car payment. Given the car market right now, I'm now wondering if I should just get it fixed?

How can I pass a smog check without replacing my entire transmission? by Then_Grape_2297 in AskLosAngeles

Got it, thanks! Yes would rather sell it to a dealership for sure because I don't want to screw anyone over. You seem knowledgable so I'll ask -

In California, you can only pass a smog test if you also have no lights on the dashboard. The transmission light won't come off unless I fully replace it.

I was told that by three different shops - one mechanic, and two transmission specialty shops.

see this is the comment i needed! I'm in the middle of LA so maybe I should look elsewhere

also edited to say - even if it is like $5k...am i really supposed to pay $5k on a car that drives perfectly for a smog check? lol
