I recently came across a bargin I couldn't pass up. 98 mini-van, low milage, excelent condition, all the bells and whistles. Everything works good. Needless to say at the price I got it for (booked at 4000, paid 200, from police impound) I could double my money just selling the engine alone. I drove it home and couldn't beleive how nice it drives. Anyway I am considering keeping it for a family van but do not know if it is possible. I checked with the DMV and they say it needs to be inspected to get plates. I contacted the inspection station and explained how and where I got it from and they say just bring it in. No big deal. But I should get under it and make sure there are no obivous leaks / broken items. OK I did that and found a bad spot in the exgaust pipe and it would be about 140 bucks to repair (a fancy joint needs replaced). But I do not know how an@l they are going to be on the inspection. There is a very minor drip at the bell housing and some rusting on the brake lines and a pin size stone chip in the windshield. I really don't want to invest the money in the exgaust pipe if they are not going to pass it. Anyone ever take a salvage vechile for inspection before? Have any do's or don'ts or can tell me what to expect. I am in central Ohio. Thanks
