Sold my truck in CO straight piped, new owner wants me to pay for smog situation

If you sold it "as is" and they knew it was like this. It was an as is sale. What if it did not even run. I could call the DOT/MTO whatever it's called now days.
I would tell them to pound sand. Bit it wouldn't hurt to call a lawyer. You where up front about everything on the truck.
So you bought the truck from CO and sold it in CA to someone in CO. You have proof that it passed emission 6 months ago. IMO your ass is covered. IIRC the law on CA is that you have to have an inspection in the last 6 months. I never did. All the vehicles I sold as-is and put that on the bill of sale. It might now hold up in Court, but I wasn't going to smog my vehicle every 6 months until it sold.

AFAIK, unless you're a licensed dealer, you are not responsible for:
The spare
TPMS
Seat Belts
Air Bags
Emissions equipment
Etc. Etc.
Today, dealers must have all the Fed safety/emissions in place to sell a used car.

How in the hell is it your responsibility to pay to have the truck fixed. You sold it as is it shouldn't be your responsibility it should be there's. Good luck with it buddy you better get lawyered up.
I wouldn't worry about it. Stop replying and ignore them. if I bought my LB7 "as is" and if it needed a cat to pass emissions, im not gunna go after the previous owner and make them pay for it.... it's my issue...

Not sure if I mentioned this but they had this same mechanic do a pre buy inspection, he passed the truck saying it was a great truck it could use shocks soon and tranny serviced, not a word about it being straight piped or the egr delete or anything negative.. Ugh these people.....
Dude blow them off. It was a private party sale 'as is'
And they had a 3rd party pre buy inspection on top of it, phuck em

My advice:
Don't give the guy the opportunity to give you a hard time.
Don't apologize or go back on your position of an as is sale.
There's no doubt these people are in the wrong. Unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean you're legally right. What they're doing is complete bs and I would probably tell them to get bent and see what the repercussions turn out to be.
