So back in april i bought my xb. I got it from an auto auction from a car dealer. When ig ot it i got the temp tags with it. I got my title "filed" at the dmv, so i could get it in my name, so i could get a loan against it. After the tags expired, i took in the reciept from filing the title, and got my plates...

The other day i realized i never got emissions, but got my plates, and my registration with out it..... How did the dmv overlook this one... Haha i totally spaced it out.. Is colorado dmv getting a little lax.... All my other cars had to have everything... haha i hope i dont get tracked down my the dmv mafia.... haha

I don't get it? I don't really get any of this law stuff though (is that why I have so many tickets? jk) explain in simple terms?

Well out here in CO, idk if its in every state or what, but When u first buy a car you have to go get your emissions tested, before you can get your license plates. And somehow, they overlooked that, because i got a temporary registration paper, when i got the title in my name.. Im guessing.... haha

I thought you didn't hafta get emissions if the vehicle is less than a few years old

Yes, no emmisssions were required on our '05 tC either. You have no worries I'm sure. The DMV isn't gonna come take back your plates! LOL!

I moved here from WI late last year and I didn't have to get the emissions done on my 05 xB either. Something about the age of the vehicle. I did have to get it done on my 99 F150.

I believe it is within 4yrs.

yes, in the state of Colorado there is no test needed for the first two years on some cars. There should be a little round sticker on the driver side, in the bottom corner. Burt Toyota left mine in. Some car dealers pull them out.

Know the ONLY thing I miss about Ohio? $35 license plates!

Emmissions testing has been suspended in colorado, They've got a Van parked at I25 nb exit onto I70 to see if they need to start checking again. See appearently when Emissions go DOWN to a safe level, they stop testing.

When was the last time anyone got tested? Do you have HEV?
