You can say that again. I bought my SEC in Washington State.(No sales tax. Drove it home and had to hand over $772 just to get it registered, which of coarse included a user tax.
I had a mechanic put in a newly rebuilt smog pump. The PO had disconnected the origonal one because of a bad bearing.

Engine seemed to run great. But I too failed at smog test. A test and repair station charged me another $125 to fine tune the air/fuel mix and bring down the RPMs a little. Only then did the car pass. Because of the H
hydrocarbons, the guy said I should look too change the cat before the next test. It's pretty tired he said.

Good luck
