For a running GSL-SE, with such a clean body and interior, I think the price is not bad at all.

 

Yea, thats not bad. I think i spot a glass sunroof in the back too.

 

Yeah I think that is a glass sunroof there I think thats a good deal.

 

I wish I lived nearby to go check it out!

 

WTF? Who's gonna buy a car with no title??? That's asking for trouble...especially getting it registered to drive! Nice price, but nooooo waaaaaay!

 

It has RACECAR written all over it.

 

smells fishy to me

 

and it says maxda not mazda. hahahahaha

 

I smell stolen car.

 

You don't need a title for parts

$475 is just about equal to a full suspension setup and glass sunrooof.

Could probably turn a profit by parting it out.

 

I guess it's a moral issue as well. Everyone's morals are different, but unless the car is proven to not be stolen, I wouldn't want to profit from someone else's possible misfortune...I know I'd hate to have my 7 stolen. Granted, it sound's like a GREAT deal, but not for me!
Out...

 

In some states it is illegal to buy or sell a car without a title, even for parts.

 

how hard would it be to get a title?

 

Heheh. You know that a lot of people who are "parting out" cars are doing it because they don't have a title or it has a lien it... right?

 

lien?

 

not a bad price at all...i want it!

 

^heh, cool avatar^

 

Not prooven stolen, but yeah... Car theives are bad.

 

Who the hell would have the ***** to steal a car then put it up on ebay for billions of people to see ?

 

haha... good point. Well, if it is stolen the guy either has big ***** or is just really really stupid. I vote stupid 'cause he puts in on eBay and then only wants local people to buy it. Why didn't he just park it in his front yard with a sign on it or advertising in his local classifieds?

 

Believe it or not it happens every day. Stolen items are spotted on ebay constantly.

 

i reiterate. lien?

 

A lien... basically a claim on the title of someone else's property if they don't pay a debt. When I say title I don't really mean the peice of paper, but the actual ownership of the car. There's all sorts: a loan to buy it, the car is put for collateral, a mechanic works on it and doesn't get paid, etc. So the car can't be sold or "titled" (as in, the paperwork) easily or at all unless the debt is taken care of first. So, instead of paying it off they chop the car up and sell the parts.

Edit: Basically, if you have a car with a lien on it, you have possession but not (full) ownership. Chopping it up or selling it "without a title" is uncool.

 

Speaing of liens, a mechanic's or storage lien is one way to get a title. At least in some states, you can apply for a title to a vehicle which you have a lien against. The vehicle does not have to be chopped up for parts but can be re-sold with a legal title.
