More details to this question:
I sold a car without a smog certificate then the buyer sold it to another person. The car won't pass smog now and the buyer is coming after me. Am I liable now that he sold it?

You have no "privity of contract" with the third party buyer. His only claim is against the person who sold it to him.

No, it's the sellers problem. You have no contract with last buyer.
