totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

ok ill try and keep this short and to the point.

last november i bought a 97 honda civic coupe on craigslist for $500 because it had electrical problems and a bad tranny. towed it 4 hours home, fixed both problems and was waiting on the dmv to send him the new title. said he had filed for a lost title, car was registered to him and i seen proof so i wasnt worried that it was stolen. anyways after about 3 months with nothign but excuses from him i decided to call the local licensing place and ask about the car. find out it has a lein on it and get the companys name. call them and find out that he owes $6K on it still and have been trying to repo it. told them the situation, they send a guy out to check on the car and call me and say its not worth the recovery fee and their not paying me for it or signing the title over to me. so im stuck with a car that i cant do ---- with but store it for them.

so i was thinkign of trying to get my money back and sell it as a drag shell with no title or

find a wrecked coupe and buy the dash and title and figure out a way to get rid of the rest of the vins?


i have been talking to the lein holder for a few months now and they just now told me today what they planned on doing today.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

you need to post this ---- up as a call a thon, and contact the police

did you save the bill of sale and all that? i hope so, as this is fraud.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

a friend of mine gave me an decent idea of buying a dash from a wrecked car with vin and title, registering it like i was driving the car, buy a RHD conversion to get rid of the firewall VIN then goign around to all other VINS and get rid of them. sounds hella shady but would be kinda legit since the other car would be destroyed already so there would be no conflicting title.

my ex's grandpa owns a wrecking yard so i might head down there and see if he has any advise on this whole thing.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

was given a receipt but he had to work the day i picked it up so it was his friends dad that signed it, but i have all the emails saved in a word document between me and him from start of transaction to him lieing a few months later about a lost title and still waiting from the DMV

Trailor Park Ralley Car 2....?


I like my VINs like I like my women, shaved clean as a baby's ass.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

kinda what i was thinking but just dont want to put more money into it and have them change their mind and come try and take it even though they said they dont want it back. we have the dirt circle track races here in town or was thinkign just strickly drag car with vitara build and nog setting

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

Nog setting. :y



Can't lose.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

Pursue legal redress. Leave the barbaric street justice to HMT. 8)

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

swap the dash and cut out and replace the vin(s) illegal but it would work

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

part it out, tell them it was stolen

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

title and new vins for the win..had a home boy do that and depending on the state they either never check em when you get pulled over and they will just run the one on the dash..

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

unless you give them a reason they will never check. i have never had them check any of the vins on my cars. in washington at least and thats where op is from. i actually was planning on doing this with one of my cars. but between being honest to people i was buying the shell from and being lazy. i finally got my title in the mail a year and half later...

if your doing the buy a shell and swap the vins. best thing to do is tell the seller your buying it for a track car or parts car. dont tell them the truth or they will think your a shady and probably wont sell you the car. its just a off the wall story to tell a seller

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

well i live in texas and they almost never ---- with that ---- but i have had them run a vin once and it came back as a crx but it was only cause i had a crx dash in a hatch, they got pissy about it but in the end did nothing about it

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

Part it out its not like you have tons of money in it. You will proably make a couple hundred bucks parting it out. Shell gets cut up into pieces and goes to the scrap yard.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

exactly, is it really worth risking police trouble over a couple hundred bucks?
Not that it's a guarentee it ever gets found out, but if it does?

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

No, he should get the sack of ---- who defrauded him into legal trouble in exchange for what his time/labor, parts, and original purchase of the car are worth. ---- all the dumb ----.

There's a good chance he can get the chump to refund him and then the asshat will be too much of a puss to pick up the car, at which point you wait 30 days and then part it out.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

this is honestly the perfect answer

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

OK that is a better answer.

But I was meaning ghosting the vin isn't worth it.

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

pics of said car

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

post some pics ---- if its a nice ride then ---- it try and make it work if not then look for a shell and swap ---- over...

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

heres a few pictures of it now, i have all the bumpers, sideskirts, and headlights i just took them off it because i thought they wanted it back.

Car looks like it's worth trying to keep, or keep trying to make a profit off of anyway.

Sue the panties off that bitch. :y

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

sell that bitch!

i think boosted dateg is lookin for a shell

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

but it has no title so it would have to be a track car with no hope of ever registering it

Re: totally screwed on a car, what the fuck do i do?
 

I would sue, and press charges on him. Document everything. Hopefully in the end you will break even. Lesson learned: dont buy a car without proper paperwork, or doing history report.
The thief will not get away with the dumb scam he tried to pull.
