“Epic chance to pick up solid diesel cars CHEAP.”
Yeah, but you probably won’t be able to renew their license tags unless they can pass the emissions test which will more than likely include some sort of test for the cheater software. The EPA will force these autos to either be repaired , scrapped or sit in the driveway....
Could you transplant the engines into an older model that had more lenient emission regs?
Not every state tests emissions; in fact,the majority do not.
