Or they own it long enough to realize that with today's smog restrictions the car can't be registered for street use (off-road use only; especially here in CA). Or they realize the electronics are all jacked-up.

its been registered in missouri at least once. getting things registered here isn't hard. my brother's car has no cats. no issues yet. and that's before you go and talk to the "right people".
but man, that thing gets around.
i see its for sale in iowa now. maybe thats an emissions problem.
No emission restrictions in Iowa. I don't have cats on my '77 Malibu and have never been asked to get it checked in the 16yrs I've owned it. All you need to do is register the car and you're good to go.

Wonder what her rate is. Let's say the owner has their fun for 6 months after buying the vehicle straight up $12k. A quick number crunch gives about $2.77 per hour to look at it, think about it, drive it, fix it, marvel in its awesomeness,and ultimately catch the clap. Not only is it a whore, but it's a cheap dirty whore.
But that may be because it's a 77. Anything in Illinois year 96-97(somewhere around there) or before does not get inspected. Anything newer needs to come in every couple of years.

What!!?? I've lived in Illinois my whole life. There's no emission testing. I have Had many vehicles both old and new. I've never been asked to check them. Is this just a thing in the city?
Naw homie, I'm in the south suburbs and my LS (02) is due for an emissions test by Aug 29th. We have emissions testing it's just not every year. Have you had your cars longer than 2 years? Hell the state will suspend your license if you dodge an emissions test. I had to mail letters back and forth with the state because they thought I still had my Continental and didn't get it tested.

I've never gotten a letter about being tested. I've never been asked by the DMV if the car has been tested lately. No one in my family knows about any emissions requirements in Illinois. My brother had a car for 4 years living downtown Chicago. Never herd of testing. In my household we have a 1988, 2 1998's a 2005, a 2008(since new) and a 2004 and a 2006. We've never had any testing. I have friends I southern Il also have never had to have emissions testing. Do you live in the same Illinois as me wtf??

Some states have different rules for different areas
Cook county makes you test every year. I don't know if they charge you or not. I know Dupage county does it once every two years and it is free. I moved back to Will county and they don't test at all.
Here in Texas we do a state inspection every year which is emissions and a horn/headlights/cel test as well. Costs $35 and vehicle registration is $65 yearly as well. Only vehicles that are 96 or newer need to pass inspection.
Maybe it's a southern IL thing. Cook county makes you test. I don't know what to say about your brother getting a pass. It's every few years so maybe he got lucky. Your lucky it used to be a long wait and PITA to go get tested. Now it's faster and no charge
Actually, its only you "poor" Chicagoland residence that have emissions testing.
No where else in the state has too.
