PA salvage certificate, hard to get R-title?
I found a crx minus engine/trans fender hood and headlight. I assumed it was wrecked but told him I'd take it if he had title in hand (its less than $300). He said he did so i told him I'd pick it up tonight. After talking for a while he mentioned a salvage certificate, wtf.
I assume I'll need to get an R-title for it then before I could register and drive it. Is that hard to do with a salvage certificate? I don't want another car with no title rotting away in the field if it will be too much hassle, but then agian I would love a cheap crx to throw my b16 in.
Anyone with any experience chime in. I told him I work til 5 then would drive down to pick it up, so that's how long I have to decide
Thanks

all you need to do is when you get it take photos of it then once you have it fixed take photos of what you have fixed and have to send it into the DMV if i remember right and they will review it and then send you a R title. But just give the main DMV in Harrisburg a call and ask what you need to do minus dealing with the DMV and PA gov its not that hard at all turn around time can be quick if you bust it out i think it takes at at most around 4 weeks to get your R title
and dont tow with your limited DL that would land you another year with out and a big fine... but that depends on the cop if you get busted

thanks, Called the local notary and she said a very similar thing, jsut said I needed to actually take it to an inspection place to get the ok for an R title. Gonna make the trip down to check it out, hopefully it's not a pos stripped to ----.

good luck finding a place in PA ( im assuming you in PA, sorry if your not) that will do an R- title inspection. the application sucks, and there ----. they also treaten the inspectors with 2 year suspensions, and near 5500 dollar fines for even ------- the app up and putting down bad info. i tried with a RHD S13 Silvia K i had that got fucked and i wanted to rebuild. couldnt find anyone who wanted to do it. RHD is a grey area....
