So say you bought the car Feb 1 2002..you won't not need to smog the car for a transfer of ownership till Feb 2 2006, you have a 4 year window..and your first REQUIRED smog would not be due till your tags were due for the year of 2008..or in other words Feb 2 2008 a 6 year window.

04 bought in 03 is still an 04....so you would smog it when the 04 needs to be.
