Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

:curse:So I decide to buy a new convertible and sell the 4x4 easy hey!! NOT:curse:

Drove my SUV from Illinois to California a few months back thought nothing of it but decided that the old weather did not constitute the use or need for a 4x4 so lets sell the little beaut ergh NO DEAL

I go to the Smog Center and find out that my GMC was originally from Canada:huh:1st I heard of it, anyways it cannot be smogged as I need to get a OBD 11 in other words it means a flippen rip of conversion.

For those of you that bring a car or into California on out of State plates or worse Canada (my tags were Illinois but origin Canada) you cannot sell your car/truck until its smogged you can sell it if it is not registered in CA but check the back history of the car 1st
I thought never even entered my head hence $550 conversion to get the damn GMC Oked to sell:curse:

I'm looking at convertibles...what sort are you thinking of buying?

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

Well I looked at the Mitsubishi Eclipse but bad reports and cost a fortune to repair, then I went to the Mustang Convert nice car but ever body and their mother drives one in Cali they are eveywhere.

Ended up with a Sebring Convert :wub:

Very happy with it, would be happier still if the flammin GMC was sold lol.

What you thinking of getting?

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

I like the Sebring...it's a good size seating for 4 adults.

I've got my eye on a CLK but it's only made in a soft top and I would like a hard top convertible. All the hard tops are a little too small inside for me. The Crossfire is a nice looking car but I prefer the hardtop to the soft top convertible...unfortunately the hardtop isn't a convertible.

yes it is

I was looking at one a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

the hard top similar to the merc
or soft top
convertible

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

The Sebring hard top convertible.

The problem is with NJ winter weather and travelling up and down to Canada we could really do with getting another 4 wheel drive. After 11 yrs of driving them I would like a change.

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

Drive to Vegas
Sell the car there.
Take the cash, bet on black
Come home a lot richer....maybe

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

I love the Sebring...I'd like one once we move....

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

Best of both worlds!

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

I am very happy with my convertible I have to say..
4 seats, takes the baby seat just fine, cheap to repair, great looking, sounds terrific and you will never get to drive something like this back in blighty!

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

I'm sorry Poppy...I seem to have hijacked your thread.:o

I did think the Vegas option was a good one.

Re: Bloody CA Smog Test Beware Canadians!!
 

LMAO I thought about the Vegas thing and I was in Tahoe last weekend so the idea is actually not bad except for the black jack;)

Jersey HiJack all you like lol I am sure I have done many times over the years.

Its all good fun:D
