Re: Emissions Test Exemptions

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Not only does testing vary State to State but the way you register the 
vehicle is important. In many states there are special catogories that 
are exempt from testing such as Historic, Collector, or Limited 
Use-Special use. If you can live with the limitations such special 
catogories impose (like a limited # of miles per year) not only are 
you exempt from emissions testing but the insurance is substantaily 
lower. You must contact the Motor Vehicle Agency of the State in which 
you reside and or will register the vehicle in to learn all of the 
options available. Just because a car is over 20 years old doesn't 
automatically exempt it from anything as it is still required to meet 
the emissions and safety tests that were in effect at the time of 
manufacture.
