Being sued by dealership, any input

I don't see this having a happy ending for your friend. Even if he wins the dealership case*, whoever is in charge of enforcing the law that Z_ealot quoted is likely to take him back to court.

* Personally, I think it's the dealer's fault for not checking before delivery, but I'm not a judge.

I'm guessing, but I bet they rushed the deal through. I've trade cars at dealerships on a weeknight after scheduled closing and wondered if dealership even checked to see if the car had wheels.

Fine print can really bite you in the ***.

Z_ealot

on the other hand though, seeing as it's not even legal to buy a car without the emissions controls in place, the dealer themselves can get in big trouble, which is probably why they are going after his friend since they may have already incurred a fine for buying the car in the first place

I don't think it is illegal to buy, but rather to sell. It may be that the law is asymmetric with respect to sellers and buyers.

Z_ealot

true, i guess we shall see how it plays out though...haven't heard from the OP in a while that's for sure
