DMV registration experts
So my registration is due next month but I'm selling the car. I have a potential buyer lined up next week. Does it matter if I pay the reg? Or can I leave the dues for the new owner?

well there is a "smog abatement fee" on the renewal notice. Does this mean I still have to smog if for the new owner? My car's a 2003...
So you guys are also saying I have to pay the renewals fees regardless?

you'll have to do the smog, but the registration is not required as long as your sell the car before the deadline.
as a buyer I would always ask when the registration was paid

You'll have to smog it since its "4 model years" or more old, the certificate is good for 30 days. It's a plus to the buyer if you do the registration, I did it for my SVT i just sold after I bought my WRX. But mine didnt need to be smogged (was an 04) and the registration was only $118.

ive sold a car without smoging it, witht he buyers OK
Ive also bought an rx7 without it being smogged, took it to get it smogged, they said coolant was coming out of the exhaust (cracked rotor housing)
I got my money back in court by saying the owner didnt smog it before the sale.
so if youre trying to rip someone off, smog it
