^ it should be a salvage title if it comes from an auction.

cus they are usually stolen recoveries, or like water damage and stuff like that.

i've actually bought an fd from them... a little expensive but the car seemed in decent shape for the most part. it needed a little bit of mechanical work and had been in a minor accident.

i think the guy just pulls cars from wherever he finds them and brings them in. so even if you ask, i doubt he could tell you any history on the car. make sure you check out the car very carefully if you do decide to buy.

The previous owner of my FD bought it off of that guy. So far i have had no problems at all. Granted the previous owner did all of the reliability mods to it. But he actually did know the history of the car. So i guess it really depends on the car you end up buying from him cuz some of them look really shitty but the expensive ones are in pretty good condition.

Before i purchased my FD i went to him to look at a 95 base and it was in immaculate condition. But i didnt have 23k lying around lol
