i have been seeing this car in a lot near my house for some time now decided to stop by and ask about it yesterday. Property owner said that one of his rent tenants had left it sittin there abandoned about 6 months ago after they moved out. He said it was becoming a nuisance to mow around and he was happy to let me take it away for $100.....no key or title but hey...whatever......

no way!!! sounds like how i got my car. that is awsome. what are you going to do with it???

Apply for an "abandoned tittle" I think you can make that YOUR car LEGALLY if they just left it there for a long time.

 

yes but if its ne thing like missouris law you would have to pay what the stat thinks its worth. but great find any way

My advice to you...

Check w/ your local DMV or police to ensure that the vehicle has not been reported stolen. From there, take steps to see about acquiring the vehicle "officially".

TII's are worth it even if you have to pay book value. I would.

 

already checked with the dmv this morning, never reported stolen

I've thought about keeping it but i would have to pay the state what they appraise it at plus taxes.....so i think i will be parting it out soon. minus the drivetrain and other misc. stuff i wanna keep

 

cool ;et us knwo what you do with it. or when you start to part it out. i may need the turbo so i can pass inspection. we will see. good luck.

ok, it will probably be late next week when i decide to start takin requests for parts, I'm going to spend until then gutting the car of every removable part and organizing everything from this car and my others.

Congrats, really nice! why can't I find deals like that one??

 

there is alot from the car that i want to keep, like the entire drivetrain, brakes, and seats, a few other things. Thats one reason for me parting it out. this car has lots of nice things that are hard to come by that i want to hang on to. the rest is for sale

 

Does it run? I don't get it.. parting it out, why?? Or I'm still brain dead.. LOL

 

no title man.

no it doesn't run.....i think the compression is low...it might if i messed with it. Also it was rear ended at some point, but not badly.

maybe a drift accident now that i look at it more....

 

**** just go and take off the vin plates off your n/a and put them on it. Dont part out a perfectly good car like that. Also you could talk to the land owner and see if the people left a forwarding address. If so just mail them and ask. If they try to take it back, just put a mechanics lean on it and dont let them touch it.
Not giving them you phone number would help. and a p.o. box would also. just so they dont try to come get it.

Don't part it out, sell it on ebay as is with no title... No reason to kill a perfectly good TII just because it's too much hassle to deal with Texas... Hell, I'll buy it and bring it up here.

 

lucky ****

 

i cant believe it - $100

thats some scary **** !

 

how many miles on the beast?

 

is that ornage coolent in there? Extended mile stuff? augh

 

160,xxx miles

no the coolant is nice and green, thats some red overspray from whenever the car was repainted

 

if you part it out let me know i need some interior parts. but anyways good find.

 

look in the parts section next week for it
