As a strict parts car, I'd say $900 is a bit high. I hope he actually 'lost' the title and isn't trying to unload stolen property. We do have a craigslist section for posts like this to I think.

 

A broken window and no title sounds kind of fishy too.

 

Get the VIN and do a little research.

 

listen the titles clean i lost it but noit dealing with the bullsh**
Dont call with lots of crap about title DO NOT HAVE IT THATS WHY ITS A PARTS VEHICLE
so if you dont want it for parts then dont bother calling

So on a scale of 1-10 I wonder how pissed he would be if I called him asking how he lost the title.

Lets find out.

Broken window, no title, something smells reallll fishy.

 

do it! record the convo!

 

Yes you should definitely go and do call him and record it!! It's a little far from my house in Rockland just to go and get a VIN #. I agree with you guys on this being fishy. I would carfax it of I had a VIN # but I dont feel like calling him up and getting. He is pretty ticked of I think. I wanted to know what other people would say if I
Postal this up here.

 

If the car is legit - you can get the title for it FYI - it's not hard, just a waiting game as long as you can get all the right signatures.... I'd offer $500 if it's not stolen and in 6 months someone could have a nice cheap daily driver... but again, it's not the car for someone trying to get something quick and drive. As a parts car - the body is rather worthless - the engine and trans are worth the money if they aren't shot or high mileage. You can sell that engine for an easy $800 and the trans for another $500 (again - assuming they work well and aren't high mileage).

 

yes, I was thinking that you could get another title. I just didn't know for sure.

 

Current title holder must apply for Title Duplicate - either lost or destroyed as reason.

As long as there are no liens against the title - you can apply for it with a copy of the Bill Of Sale and lots of documentation - but more then likely you will need the present owners signature at the least to even apply for it.

 

This is like a "Where's Waldo" with the title.

My beech of a girl friend paid for the car cause' I told her I'd marry her and then ..

That mechanic is a rip off to charge me those prices and just what is a mechanics lein?

Bad Credit-No Credit-No Problem and as soon as parole finds out where I am it's kinds academic?

 

lol what

 

Lemons car if he's legit and you cant talk him down.

 

Except Lemons cars need to be $500.

 

I'm sure he meant "can talk him down" dont be a noob.

 

Do lemons cars need to be good title... or do they even check?
There is a cool Porsche 911 that is going for free at the local valet parking... Lol
$500 tuning money....

 

If you have the car in your possesion, provided it wasn't reported stolen ( carfax?) You can file for a title for an abandoned car. I believe 90 days is the number on that here in ny. You would do a pencil rub of the VIN and report it, possibly have to be bonded for it ( depending on the value) and then the dmv sends you a title.
