Help with emissions regulations? NY State

[ME30W]

My car is an 89, so it is now 25 years old. According to the NY DMV website, all cars older than 25 years are exempt from emissions inspections.

Does this mean that I can simply take the sticker off of my car and never have to get it inspected again? My sticker expires at the end of this month, so I'd like to know if I have to pony up the $30 for an inspection, or if I am now in the clear.

You still need to get a safety inspection. They check brakes, lights etc.. The safety inspection only costs $15 iirc

100% correct, inspection for older cars is very basic and costs less than $20

You are still required to pass safety inspection at an authorized facility but you are correct in regards to not requiring an emissions test.

It's actually only the safety inspection after 25 years. Up until this year the car still had to have the $30 inspection, but they really don't look at much
