depends who you bought it from, a friend of mine got a 96 prelude vtec and a year after he got it, he had to smog it again, but now he is set for 2 years

but generally, 2-3 years, going by the 5 cars i own, lol

whats the deal with 2000+ cars tho?

i heard somewhere that brand new cars dont get checked till they are like 5 years old, is that true?

That's unusual cause you gotta smog it to transfer the title anyways... but yeah. It's confirmed at 2 years BTW.

As for the 2000+ models, I'm not sure about the very latest emission standards, but 2004 is the first year they're getting smogged. I guess you're correct about the 5 year rule, cause a lot of 2000 models were purchased in 1999.
