Default Should I buy this SRT-4 (Please HELP)!

I know in my previous post i said i already purchased an srt4 but i got ahead of myself. So i do plan on getting one and i did find the one i wanted and i ran a carfax history report. Everything was good to go but it the car started in AZ and was purchased in an auction in CA. I guess it failed its emissions test and was labeled a GROSS POLLUTER. The problem was fixed in three days and it passed emissions. I don't know anything about CA and there emissions except they are strict. Could this just be an aftermarket exhaust or a real problem i should avoid investing in. I plan to ask the dealer what the exact problem was and what the fix is but he could be lying. I need all the INPUT I CAN GET about this one. Thank you fellow enthusiasts who take the time out of there day to drop their $.02.

All it takes is a bad sensor or for it to throw a code to fail an emissions test. Any aftermarket parts that may have been on it that were notCARB exempt could also be at fault.

well I know there is a difference between someone who's failed an emissions test and a gross polluter. A car labeled as a gross polluter has horribly failed an emissions test. Has anyone had an emissions test and it labeled the car a gross polluter
