Can a used car dealer sell a car that WON'T pass inspection and has invalid inspection sticker in NC?

In North Carolina, a used car dealer cannot legally sell a car that won't pass inspection or has an invalid inspection sticker without disclosing this information to the buyer. The dealer must ensure that the vehicle meets state inspection requirements before selling it. If the car does not pass inspection, it must be repaired and pass before it can be sold. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in penalties for the dealer.
