I don't see why you would run into any problems, either.

does PA inspection go by county? I tried doing a little research online and couldn't come up with much in the way of laws and what not. Most likely id be in Monroe, Northampton, Bucks. Any of the eastern counties next to NJ

Emissions is by county. Schuylkill County = no emission testing, technically only visual.

Safety inspection is the same across the state. However the Emission inspection varies from county to county.

Safety inspection isn't that hard to get through. Just a lot of basic things that most people would figure on: Tires, Brakes, lights, wipers, horn, defroster, seat belts.....

Emission since you have cats and as long as you don't have a SES light on you should be fine where ever you go. Also after you register the car the first time if you drive less that 5k miles a year you are exempt from emission.

Also the law is fairly Subjective things can be read a lot of different ways so it depends who you take it to. Your best bet is to ask around once you get moved in and find someone that might overlook anything that is questionable. Not that hard to do

There is info on this site: http://www.drivecleanpa.state.pa.us/...pa/default.htm

This will tell you if your county has emissions: http://www.ahs2.dep.state.pa.us/aq_a...sions/test.htm

Inspection info:
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/motor_vehicle/index.shtml


And like everyone else said, as long as you have no check engine light and decent brakes, etc you should be fine.
