I recently purchased a used vehicle from a private party here in California. I (against my better judgement) purchased it without a certificate of smog inspection, and it did not pass smog, meaning the transfer of title can not be completed. In California, the law states that the seller of the vehicle is responsible for providing a certificate of smog inspection. I'm pretty certain that I can get a judgement for the cost of repairs needed in order for the vehicle to pass inspection, however is there a chance I could get a judgement to void the contract of sale so I can return the car to this person and get my money back? Can selling the car without a smog certification when that is required by law to sell a car be considered breach of contract?
