Mount Airy, MD | said by nixen:Yegads: had you bought it used?? The car was a hand-me-down. But a 1999 car of any make should be road-worthy for at least 10 years I think. Now to be fair, Maryland's state inspection is notoriously stringent and the Olds had been passing inspection in Pennsylvania (where we lived previously) for many years.
The funny part is our other car, a 2002 Honda Accord, had no problem passing Maryland state inspection.

As to Pennsylvania inspections: it was always trivially easy to pay a garage to pass you on the safety inspections. Emissions was a little tougher. Thought Maryland only had safety inspections when you got the car's title changed (i.e., bought new or from a prior owner).

I meant as in, the prior owner got it mis-serviced somewhere. A competent shop won't just weld random things onto a car that aren't supposed to be welded there.
