Re: Would you buy a TY with a salvage/theft, rebuild title
:tup: A MUST READ Ladies and Gentleman, The fact is simple if you look at it in either way. As a collector or a User. User is to have it cause he loves it and use it daily no matter the miles and dog it if he likes and collector well you know has it in the garage to someday make thousand of of it. Which ever you are A salvage title can be hurtful only in two ways One-If you want a low miles collectors car with origanal miles. Two trying to buy it, trade it, insure it, or selling it with a bank or finac. co. I know cause in 2003, I was going to buy one at a dealer with 92 Ty 32K miles(super clean) from out of town for $10,000. Bank said i had credit enough for 34 K(cost). but car had to be Under 100,000 miles, no under 10 years old, and a blue title (which is a clean title in Texas and green title is Salvage). Didn't get it cause of year (92 was 11 years). The fact is this, If you love it --->buy it But get it checked first. If you hate the salavage title issue change it. Maybe I shouldn't tell you this but In some states no matter how many times you change a title, it stills stays the same salage or clean. But two states can help that I know of. LA and OK. If you buy a car with a salvage title take it to one of these ststes to a buddy or relative that lives in that state change title to his name and then back to yours after it comes in and it comes back clean title when you get it and wall----la. Clean Title. But you can never escape a carfax that has been reported, So don't buy a car with out a carfax. I learn this from a guy that bought salvaged cars and cleaned them and changed titles to sell for high profit. In other words he Chin-gele you ( screwed you). People see such a good deal, so good you can't sleep at night cause they didn't jump on it almost even knowing they were getting setup And buy cars from Owners or Dealers not knowing what the car has been thru. And there is more ways too. I bought a 87 GN for $800.00 with out motor and trans and outside motor wiring with only 76,000 miles on it clean title Nothing ever reported on it. Last owner wrecked it sold it to a High Performance shop for engine and trans who sold it to me for cheap for the rear end (8 1/2 gear) that I needed for a 80 Malibu which I wanted for racing. Bought the whole car for $800.00. Now I can pay a theif that can steal one for $500.00 or pay a crack-head less. Put all the parts and engine in change numbers on blocks and trans (And Yes it can be done) Paint it if needed And order new stickers for doors and trunk from a restoration magazine. And sell it to a stranger for less, Thousands cheaper than anybody else in a autotrader. And make thousands for a almost nothing. So you just made someone bend over grab his knees and screwed him over without vasline without him even knowing it But he will still go home and fall asleep thinking he got a good deal. The truth is there is people like that and will not hasitate to make money. So check your numbers all of them titles and history reports and remeber if it smells,or maybe feels, like a lemon, it probally is a Lemon. So lesson learned and class is dismissed, Oh and I will be testing at the end of the week so make sure you all have your notes cause this grade counts for half of your grade for this semester. If any more question ask I'm me I don't mind answering them.
