Two words - caveat emptor. It's Latin, and means let the buyer beware. If you purchase privately you buy sight as seen, and if you miss something there is no warranty like with a limited company. Sorry.

There are two exceptions that I know of- 1. the car can be from before when the smog certification law went into effect 2. the Department of Motor Vehicles can declare the car a "classic car" that is exempt from having to be smogged. I drive a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 that is owned by my mother. I had the car declared smog exempt under both laws just in case one of the laws is repealed.

You cannot legally do anything to the private party because you should have checked that out first. Find a crooked smog guy. They're about 150.00.
