One issue about my ML320 I just sold a month ago... I forgot to get it smoged, so the guy who bought it wants me to pay for it, which is fine, but now of course now I'm worried about it failing the test. It's a 2000 ML320 with 38K miles, should I have any problems???[|)]
You forgot the "As Is" clause during sale? Its been sold a month ago!
How could it possibly be your fault (you said you'll pay for it, unless you volunteered? or unless he paid "X" amount now and promised to pay "X" amount a month or two later after sale) if smog test fails?
I went with my buddy to get his truck inspected. He was a bit nervous that the 2WD rollers used for the emmissions testing would cause his 2001 ML55 to shoot through the testing garage so he warned them that it had full time 4WD. They ended up testing it without the rollers, defeating the purpose of the enhanced emissions testing which is designed to test emissions at xx mph.
Since I highly doubt that you've got the only ML in California I'm guessing that they'll be able to handle it []. I'd still warn them that it's full time 4WD just in case...
Don't even trip...you should fly right through the smog check just fine. The catalytic converter should clean up anything that your oxygen sensor didn't clean up. After all, German cars usually don't fail smog. But when they do, it's a nightmare to pass. With less than 85K miles, you should be just fine.
It is unfortunate that you as the seller is absolutely responsible for the smog inspection. We have a 4 wheel dyno at my shop, but when we smog AWD vehicles, we're not required to put them on the tread mill.
It's too bad they did not excempt AWD vehicles.[|)]
