I think this line from the end of the story sums it up nicely.....

Scary story, but an overlooked aspect is that if he'd run the license plate before he bought the car, he'd have known about the outstanding lack of smog check - a BIG FUCKING DEAL in SoCal - passed on the car and avoided the whole nightmare.
