Dealership sold a car that won't pass State Inspection

[3KGT]

What is the name of your state? Texas

I purchased a 1995 3000GT at a dealership. Before buying I had inquired if there were any malfunctions in the car but was told there were none. Took the car home and stored it in my garage, since the car had out-of-state registration sticker and inspection sticker (came from Louisiana). When I finally received the registration sticker (about 4 weeks later) I went to get the car tested for the inspection sticker. The car failed.
Is the dealership responsible for making necessary adjustments for the car to pass state inspection (at no cost to me)? Is the dealership responsible for issuing me a current state inspection sticker? If not then what help can I get, since I had no idea that the car would not pass inspection. By the way the car has been driven for a maximum of (no more than) 500 miles since the car was purchased.

Obviously you have a local DMV, Division of Motor Vehicles that handles and issues tags, tilte etc.
This is the people you need to ask what is legal in your state and not. Most states require either a state inspection be done from a dealer or a rejection sticker be place on the vehicle, listing why it was rejected. On your Bill of Sale, it should say if the vehicle has any warrranty whatsoever. Was the vehicle "sold as is, no warranty expressed or implied"? In most States, whatever is on that bill of sale is all that counts. Granted you may have a cause of action if the dealer did not properly inspect the vehicle and notify you of any defects. Those defects should be listed on the bill of sale. Not in all states, but most. There is no salvation here. Your local DMV has full power over dealers and illegal actions.
