does cargurus have the cars pass inspections before they sell them?

Since Cargurus doesn't sell any cars on this ad site, the answer is No. Dealers will have the car pass safety state inspection most cases before selling them. Private deals, No.

Check your states laws regarding inspections and sales. Insist on a recent inspection report or walk away.

Some States require certain vehicles to pass inspection if bought from a Dealer. In New Jersey, for example, if a vehicle is less than 10 model years old AND has less than 100,000 miles on it the vehicle must pass State inspection or the selling Dealer has to fix the vehicle for free! No matter what the cost to the Dealer. So check your State's law. Hope that helps! Jim

California requires a current smog check.
