Review content:
My husband and I went to Capitol Toyota for the End-Of-Lease purchase of our Toyota.\r
\r
We were surprised by the insistence that we had to pay a $500 Safety Inspection fee to complete the sale.\r
I wondered why I had not been given this information up front - when I specifically asked for the details on final costs for the car before coming in.\r
\r
My husband and I ended up leaving without completing the purchase because that fee did not sound right to us.\r
I have done some research, and it turns out we are not required to have a Safety Inspection in the state of California:\r
\r
As a general rule, it is illegal for a dealer to deliver a new or used vehicle that is not in compliance \r
with the equipment requirements of the Vehicle Code\r
and DMV regulations. Dealers perform safety inspections of used vehicles to ensure compliance with this requirement.\r
\r
However, there is an exemption from these safety\r
requirements regarding the sale of a leased vehicle by a dealer to a lessee if the lessee is in possession of the vehicle immediately prior to the time of sale and the vehicle is registered in this state. [Vehicle Code § 11713(i), Health and Safety Code § 24007(a)(3)] \r
\r
So, as is true with smog certification, \r
if the former lessee is also the buyer, and if the vehicle is registered in California, the vehicle is exempt from a safety inspection by the selling dealer.\r
\r
BEWARE of Capitol Toyota and don't fall for this anywhere in California.
