Zak Wendt

Hello everyone, so I'm in the process of purchasing a vette from a fellow forum member in NJ. The car only has about 5,000 miles, and I recently read something on the RMV site that is concerning. "The LEV program requires that new vehicles - any vehicle with 7,500 miles or less on the odometer - must be equipped with factory-installed California-certified advanced emission control systems. This applies to all model year 1995 and newer passenger cars and light-duty trucks up to 6,000 pounds sold and registered in Massachusetts." I'm new to the state, and this whole thing is very confusing to me. Anyone have any experience with this?

• How to identify a LEV. The law requires a Vehicle Emission Control Information Label under the hood stating "this vehicle conforms to U.S. EPA and state of California regulations" or "this vehicle conforms to U.S. EPA regulations and is certified for sale in California." Also, the Certificate of Origin will state the following: "Certified for sale in Massachusetts, California and New York," or "Certified for sale in 50 states."
• How the Registry of Motor Vehicles identifies a LEV. First-Time Registration: If the vehicle has never been registered, the RMV will inspect the Certificate of Origin for the LEV certification statement. Previous Registration: For a previously registered vehicle with less than 7,500 miles, the RMV requires the owner to schedule an appointment with a registry inspector. The inspector will then look under the hood for the Vehicle Emission Control Label. You may contact the RMV at 857-368-8130 to schedule an inspection.

You're good to go.
