good for one year transferrable, otherwise, if you continue to own the car, 2 years.

I have to disagree bigtime on this. I purchased a 89 Probe GT back in May this year for $400.

The car had 213 000 km's on it, 4 shifted belt tires, dead battery and more. After spending another $1000 certifying and emissions she was ready to go.

The power and torque steer in this car is amazing, the 200 ft/lbs of torque puts you back into the seat when the power of this car is used. I have electronic suspension which allows me to change how rough I want the ride etc.

So far since I purchased it I've put almost 15000 kms on it and the only repairs have been an $8 gas tube.

If you're interested in buying a probe I suggest you check out this site click here and learn about the car.

certification only has to be done at the time of the transfer of ownership. e-test has to be done every year or two depending on for how long u got the sticker for.

certifications are valid for 30 days only
and etests are good for a year (thats wat i heard lately)
