Tempted on Buying CB With No Title

[excalibur02]

the vin on a cb dash is easy to remove. just pop it up gently with a flat head.

as far as having the other car titled under a different vin I wouldnt do.. Its fishy. You have the vin in the driver's rear door and in the bay.

the rear door is a sticker maybe you can swap it and put some glue lol

the engine bay is iffy on me.

plus one for the "do it" side

parts car only...no matter how good of shape it's in. Which it's not in good shape...part it

[h22sparkle]

I wouldnt do it and the car doesnt start and you gotta do more paperwork thats more money. I would get one thats runnin and that atleast has the paperwork that you can actually investigate its history on.

You dont shit trailing you after you step in it. And you gotta invest more into it I honestly rather get a decent looking running car. Driving around not fixin that your bound to gettin pulled over.

I would see how hard it would be to get a new title. If that proves difficult or the previous owner is being a douche, then id forget about it. And like Deev said, the previous owner may want their car back, lol.

[bobbycos]

you all are forgetting about doing a lien on the car, when you do that you can get title to the car legally and do not have to worry about the previous owner since they basically abandoned the car at the towing facility. Do a carfax on it first to make sure its not stolen.

Thank you guys for the input. I really needed your opinions!I looked at the car and I decided not to do it. Looks like it would be more of a pain than an advantage. I just got my licence back in Febuary and I dont want to deal with any hassles from the cops. I came up with a better idea. There is an Accord Coupe this lady is selling. It needs an engine but she says the body is excellent. Im going to look at it the evening. A few members on here has really inspired me to build one so this is the route Im going to take. She wants $500. Is that kinda high since it needs an engine?? I still have my SE that runs good just looks bad. I can Take the engine out of the SE and put it in the Coupe. What do you fellas think about the price??

[deevergote]

Is the coupe straight? No accidents, no rust? Check the suspension, and see if the interior is clean. Make sure there are no hack-job electrical things done... stereo, alarm, remote start, etc... If it checks out $500 is a good price for a clean shell. If it still has the bad motor, then you'll even have a spare to build, or parts to sell! The F22A head would sell quickly to anyone who wants a spare to get ported and polished, and a spare block is good for turbo guys that are building.

If you can make a nice car out of it from what you have with the SE, then it's a good deal, I say.

Too bad you can't take the SE's interior and put it in the coupe!

Thanks for your input Deev. I think Im going to pick this up if it looks good. I will srtip everything out of the SE and install what I can on the Coupe. My starting price will be $300. I will work it from there. Hope to have pics up this evening.

[blazenem]

did you get it or no??

[RagingAsian]

The tow company should get a title. did they tell you how and why they got the car? Cause we have had a few cases around here where other copmpanies who do the PPR tows (private impounds), dont hav ethe endorement and do the PPR tows and then the AZ DOT goes ape shit.

I would do more checks on the company itself cause you will not want to be caught up with a stolen car.

[xkjnboix]

buy the car swap the se leather. swap the vins. ALL OF THEM haha we did this to a crx once that had horrible frame damage. that SE is fucked up

[92smokeaccord]

yea the tow yard should deffinetly give u papers opon purchese. they are called aba papers which is the tittle basicly.
