Acura title!!
i need some advice guys.... i just picked up a 92 integra.. b18 5 speed for a terrific price ($200)... It runs, needs an alternator, hood, and coil spings, and wiper arms. It sat for a while and is begging to rust, but not badly. The interior is fine, no real body damage. The problem is i got it w/o a title from a friend of a friend. He had the title, but is gonna re-vin another integra that was never titled... QUESTION is, what do i do??? Its my first integra, and i would like to keep it. OR shoudl i pull the motor, then what do i do with the body? No junkyard is gonna take it without a title! I was planning on getting a b-series motor to ---- around with, but i'd hate to kill of the entire car. I have as of right now 3 crx's (one a parts car) and two civics at my house, and i have a one car garage, its a little crowded and i'm still working on 2 projects (my turbo rex needs a new turbo and my new custom coach intercooler installed... thanks guys... and much more!, and i have a 91hatch shell in need of a motor swap!)... Should i try to find someone with another integra and get their title and vin (how can i change it.... enire dash swap?) or for now use the title for my parts crx (alll its says is the year, 2-door, and Honda on the title no model) or what?? I have been trying to figure out what to do, and need some advice from my HMT brothers!

Re: Acura title!!
Go to DMV, have them run an NCIC check on the VIN. That way you will know whether or not it has ever been reported stolen. If not, your state should have a procedure to follow for getting a title in your name even if you don't have the actual title. It's a pain in the ass, but it's possible.

Re: Acura title!!
make a bill of sale with the vin, mileage, and license plate and have your friend sign it.
can you get a bill of sale from the last registered owner? or did he turn in a release of liability that included your friends info? talk to the dmv. they will guide you on what is needed. stay away from swapping vins. slightly illegal, plus you will be stuck with a shell with missing vins that you have to get rid of. |
Re: Acura title!!
You can go to the DMV and talk to them like whiterice said..... but if they give you any ---- y
ou can try those little independant registration places.... sure you pay 25$ more but the good thing is they dont ask questions...... |
Re: Acura title!!
i would love to do that, but the guy i got the car from is doing the vin swap and is gonna use the vin off that car on another car. So i'm stuck with not being able to use that vin what so ever@!! i know, i'd hate to have to watch my back everyday if i swap my vin!! if i do it, i wanna do it right. I'm thinking of trying to find an entire dash at a junkyard or from someone that is parting out an integra, and swaping it into the car, along with getting the corresponding title... that is if i proceed with making this car registered.... thanks for the input so far!

Re: Acura title!!
There is no "legal" way to title it. Just part it out. ::)

Re: Acura title!!
sounds stolen to me... >:(

Re: Acura title!!
Don't try to register it, pull the engine, part the car, dump the shell in the country. The person that the car was registered to last will take the fall. When they bitch at you, tell them to ---- off. Swapping VIN's is illegal.

But, if it isn't I stand by my last statement. |
Re: Acura title!!

Re: Acura title!!
i really hope you guys are wrong on the whole stolen part!!! I had some cops in my back yard chasing some guy which tried to hide in the cars i have back there. I hope i won't be getting anything in the mail that says i'm going to jail! What other options do i have to get rid of the body other than dumping it?? How can i check if it was stolen... i can find another vin on the car.
thanks dan |
Re: Acura title!!
Take all worthy parts off the car. Then pull an SSl2k and cut it into pieces with a sawzall and dump it in a dumpster. But sell the motor mounts and brake calipers to me first. ;)

Re: Acura title!!
we just cut up a teg that was sitting in the yard for a few years. Took it to the metal yard and when they asked for the title we said "no habla ingles" then they told us to take it to the back O0

Re: Acura title!!
great idea about dumping it in the country after rippign all usable parts off of it because it probably is stolen :(.
but i have a question about a title that maybe somebody can answer. i took out a loan to buy a car about 3 years ago, gave the guy the check from the bank, he siad he had to pay off his loan before he got the title, so i waited, had a lawyer call him and write letters to him after a few months of nothing,i moved across the country, lawyer gave up :(, a few months ago his wife mailed me the title saying he paid it off and here is the title, went to get it in my name, DMV said the "release of interset" box from the lein holder hasn't been signed so they can't do anything, i call the bank and they tell me that they will not talk to me about somebody elses accoutn even though i just wanted them to write a letter releaseing the car, i call the lady (she is in the military and is probly overseas now), write the bank a letter telling thm the situation and asking for a letter, got into an accident and the other insurance company wants me to call them so they can pay me but they will want to speak with the registered owner so i need it in my name quick, have heard nothing from the bank and they signed for the letter on the 28th of last month. i kow it is somebody elses thread but does anybody have any advice? i know to get the title before giving money so that is a given but i had never boughten a car from somebody i didnt know before. should i just wait fo rht bank to write or write the again? |
