you gotta bring the car back to get it smogged if you want your tags, this is why YOU have to ask them if the car is smogged before you buy it and drive off. I would have never taken delivery without smog done.
Sorry about the situation it sucks, but not as much as the Raiders. LOL

They actually arent allowed to do that. They should have gave you the car smogged especially coming from a dealer. If you want to you can easily take them to the DMV investigation or whatever its called.

When did you buy it? New cars don't have to be smogged for 5 years.

I've had this happen before - basically the dealership is on the hook for the smog- they are required by law to smog the car prior to sale. So basically they will need to either fix the car to pass or buy it back from you.

Yep.
