Running driving 97 car for parts $750 OBO (Craigslist)

Not sure but I think I saw an add for same car for like 4gs on the other side of the country. I would look for it but I am fleeling lazy after the safety meeting tonight.
 
I bet it has a lean on it! He probably went and got what he could from a title loan place and is also trying to just sell it as a parts car for whatever else he can get for it. Title loan companies will bug you for years if they can find you but I don't think there is anything legally they can do if they don't get the car and it has'nt been paid!

I offered him $250 for it, and my sister lives in Alexandria. How I would get it to Houston if he accepted? I dunno. :p

Does Texas have a temp trip permit like Virginia?
 
I wonder if I swap the vins!?!? :) I mean, I could rebuilt my entire car over with these parts, or just swap those...

I texted him, he says he "Lost it"

Now he says it was Salvaged in NY - Problem is, no way to buy it unless I physically go, and drive back... but youd really have to own a White Mark and bring the plate.

Ohh lasssserrrrrrr.....

i wouldnt try that, i almost did last weekend and i got stopped, i would have been up :q:q:q:qs creek if i had stuck the tag on it. if all he did was lose the title he could file for a duplicate, his story is something shady, i'm going with the lien guess too, there is no way you Cant get a title if all you did was lose it.
 
Which is why its the perfect parts car. Or, if you know someone who has a mechanic shop, you can have them file a mechanic's lean for you.
 
i wouldnt go near it until i found out the whole story the last thing you need is to have a car in your posession that is stolen or wanted for some reason.
 
I doubt he would be stupid enough to put a stolen car on Craigslist since the local police routinely patrol it for stolen vehicles here (maybe he is that stupid), but I do believe the title loan deal. Virginia DMV has a service that for $15 will tell you who the car belongs to and its history. There is also a black on black 97 base with bad paint and a slammed suspension that the guy wants $1100 for, but the neon works and the AC does as well. I'm having the guy send more pics on that one, I am betting he would let it go for $600-$700.

Listing is gone so it doesn't matter. The black on black base is still there:

The paint is crap and the car is slammed, but he claims in email that everything from AC to neon works. I bet it could be snagged for $600-$700.
