Luis h asked:


I bought a car without a title.. all I have is Report of deposit of fees from DMV I don't know what its. and the letter of the seller that saying he sold this car for me and bla bla bla…
I got this car in cali, and drove back to Kansas.. basically the seller told me when I go back to kansas and go to any auto store, and do the lien sell title.. I did ask around, but there were no place like that..! i felt like i just got scam from him..
I went to DMV , and they told me without the title, the car can not be registered. the car has salvage title on it. So please tell me what should I do now!?what he was saying about to get the lien sell title or watever?? is any other way that I can get the title by myself??? please HELP!!
I did check with the carfax record, the car is not a stolen car, luckily! I don't think that I can report for lost title because the original owner has to release the title or registration .. I went to DMV and ask , the only thing that he told me is .. YOU NEED A TITLE IN ORDER TO REGISTER. PERIOD! !!!!

Alright, I'm planning on buying a used car this weekend. I have narrowed it down to two main considerations:

2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder

They both cost about the same so the price doesn't really matter, and they both have the same number of miles, 100k.

MONTE CARLO:
….It has a salvage title. The guy who is selling it (not from dealer) owns a Auto Repair shop and he has now fixed it back to new condition. (Im only going by his word, i've yet to see it). This is his exact statement:

This car is in excellent overall condition. Silver exterior with black leather interior. Fully loaded. Power seats. Rear spoiler. CD. Automatic. 100K miles. Smogged. Registered. Ice cold A/C. Tires are in great shape. Tinted windows. Power sunroof. Will take best offer. This car does have a salvage/rebuilt title due to a fender bender in the right front. It was repaired beautifully by a professional body shop. Suspension parts were replaced by A-1 Auto Repair, and it got a brand new rim. The alignment came out perfect. It has had all factory quality repairs and it runs, drives, and functions like new. All of the damage has been completely repaired. Smog, brake, and lamp inspections are done and registered with DMV

The car looks great. Here are a few pictures:

MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE
…..I dont know that much about this car. I've only seen it on the Used Dealer's website. It's a Convertible (which i would rather it not be, but its not something i'd consider as a noticeable con)
Air Conditioning,Alloy Wheels,AM/FM Stereo,Cruise Control,Dual Front Air Bags,Multi Compact Disc,Power Door Locks,Power Steering,Power Windows,Rear Spoiler,Tilt Wheel

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l101/HDANNYH/6874_4918c.jpg

I would just like to know which one you would pick and why.
Can a salvage title be trusted? Does insurance cost a lot more for one? Is one of the models not trustworthy after 100k miles?
Thanks.
hmmm……

~?Sasha?~ asked:


Hey… I've had on going problems trying to get my 97 Cavalier started and on the road again. (See link below, to read ALL details in two blogs) And…. I have hit a MAJOR road block, now.

Had my car towed to a Chevy dealership, with the mindset that they would run a diagnostic with the Tech 2, and find out the problem.

The car does crank, just not turn over… But….

They said they couldn't even use the scan tool on it, because the wiring as all wrong?

So… Questions:

#1 – Why couldn't they use the scan tool, if when the key was turned, all lights worked, and it cranked (just didn't competely start)? Does this sound right to you?

#2 – Is it true that I have to buy a BRAND NEW wiring harness from them? Everyone I talked to said that a wiring harness from the same year, same make/model, auto trans, same engine should work. The engine wiring harness I bought from a salvage yard was from the exact same type car (manufactured in 96, but is a 97 model I found out).
- It the wiring harness is not wired right, would the lights even come on, and it try to crank?
What should I do? Is it possible to somehow trace the wiring problem, if there is a wiring problem?
DETAILS: http://gypsysunrise.multiply.com/journal
Firebird – That was NOT the first step to diagnosing a no-start!!! As I said, all the details are in my blog. The PCM fell out of the car while driving down the road, and ripped the wiring harness, so…. it obviously had to be replaced. I've had no start situation since.
Rob – Thank you for your answer. You are probably right, regarding the dealership. But after calling local shops, it appears that the dealership is the only one local (small town) with a Tech 2 scan tool . =/ So.. Yeah.. That's why I thought it would be a good idea. I wouldn't have taken it to the dealership if I knew they wouldn't be able to use the tech 2. Again, thanks for your answer! =)
Brandon, thank you for your answer. =) Yeah… The fuel pump isn't coming on. And the anti theft light is coming on and staying on, too. I am so lost, maybe it is time to junk it. I don't know. Again, though, thanks!
Frank, thanks for your answer. WOW, I wish I knew that before wasting all the money on the tow bill, and labor charges at the dealership. I told them on the phone that it wouldn't start, and I just needed a tech 2 diagnostic, they should have told me they couldn't do a tech 2 diagnostic w/out the car running!! This is frustrating beyond words………..

SPR asked:


Anyone have any input on whether or not these are good vehicles? I'll be towing a 5'x8' cargo trailer for work. See posting below…

Up for sale is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Freedom. Has all the standard options, Auto, AC, power windows, power mirrors, keyless entry(needs new remote), cruise control, Factory tinted windows etc as well as the overhead trip console(rare in the Cherokees, has gas mileage functions, outside temp etc), rear receiver hitch, new dual core radiator for upgraded cooling, 8.5 Canyon wheels with new tires. In addition it has the NP242 transfer case(also pretty rare in the Cherokees), and Dual CD/tape deck.

I've had the Jeep since feb of '05, I bought it with 65k miles and it now has about 113k miles. I bought it damaged and I replaced the hood, grill, bumper and left fender, It now has an upgraded dual core radiator as well. This vehicle carries a rebuilt from salvage title which is issued after the vehicle has been repaired and inspected by the Colorado State Patrol for road worthiness. It's been great a Jeep for me thats never let me down and has never given me a lick of trouble. I've had a lot of fun with it and its a very useful vehicle. It's a strong Jeep that has a lot of life left in it, I will be sorry to see it go, but I am moving on to newer and nicer things.
Back at about 75k miles I bought new tires, when I got new tires I also installed new upper and lower balljoints, tie rods end, etc. About 10k miles ago I did a transmission fluid flush and new filter. When the new tires were installed I also installed new front brake pads and had it aligned. After 40k miles the tires showed no bad wear or odd cupping. The vehicle drives strait and doesn't pull. Currently it has 30×9.50 15s on Jeep Wrangler Canyon wheels which are 8 wide compared to the stock 7. The tires currently on the Jeep have about 10k miles on them, and have probably 90% tread on them still.

shorty asked:


Ok i know this guy that has a 1993 rx7 and has a bunch of court fines so he is selling it. I've seen the car, it has 80,000 original miles, its an auto. with nice interior and a few normal dings on the body. it DOES have a salvage title. The guy said the engine needs new seals (apex seals) and it should be good to go. he said when he wrecked it after the seals went it did start and load and hasnt been started since (a few years). he is wanting $5,500 for it as is. I am thinking about getting it and putting it in a storage garage and working on it when i have some extra cash or having it worked on. U guys think its a good deal?
Its the 13b twin turbo motor. My father used to have a 91 rx7 and thats when rx7's became my dream car. I'm pretty posative my uncle rebuild my dads motor and knows rotary motors inside and out and would be glad to help/teach me cuz i'm very interested. I'm going to get more details on it, call insurance company and find stuff out then make a decision. thanks guys

kev242 asked:


I AM LOOKING FOR AUTO BODY PARTS:

I HAVE A NASCAR OPEN WHEELED MODIFIED STOCK CAR. WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT BACK IN 1984 THEY USED AN OLDSMOBILE FIRENZA 2 DOOR COUPE BODY OR SKIN.
ON OPEN WHEELED MODIFIEDS THEY ONLY USE THE BODY PANELS FROM THE FIRE WALL BACK, AND ONLY THE OUTER SKIN.
SO I NEED THE ROOF, RIGHT AND LEFT DOOR SKINS, R AND L QUARTER PANELS, TRUNK LID ECT………

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY THESE BODY PARTS?

DON'T SAY A SALVAGE YARD, I JUST NEED THE SKINS, THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH WORK IN SEPARATING THE OUT SKIN AND MAKING IT FIT RIGHT.
FOR EXAMPLE; IF I BUY AN ENTIRE DOOR, I WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE OUT SKIN OFF. BACK IN 1984 YOU COULD BY JUST THE SKINS.
FROM THE MID 1960'S UP UNTIL THE LATE 70'S MY FATHER BUILT NASCAR MODIFIED STOCK / RACE CARS. THE LAST CAR HE BUILT WAS IN THE LATE 70'S AND HE USED THE SKIN OF A FORD PINTO. BACK THEN YOU COULD BUY JUST THE OUTER BODY SKINS.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT SELLS REPLICA OR SURPLUS BODY PARTS FOR ANTIQUE OR CLASSIC CARS.

I HAVE ANOTHER VINTAGE OPEN WHEELED MODIFIED AND THIS ONE HAS A 59 ANGLIA BODY ON IT NOW, I WANT TO PUT A DIFFERENT BODY ON IT, FOR EXAMPLE A 1934 CHEVY 5 WINDOW COUPLE OR MAYBE EVEN A 1970'S PINTO BODY.

SO IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A COMPANY THAT SELLS REPLICA OR SURPLUS BODY SKINS OR PANELS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I DID A SEARCH FOR PINTO BODY PARTS AND I ONLY FOUND FRONT FENDERS.

THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO BUY AN ENTIRE CAR AND HAVE TO CUT IT UP. THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH WORK INVOLVED IN DOING IT THAT WAY.

TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF THE TYPE BODY PARTS I AM LOOKING FOR GOT TO DAARARACING.COM OR GOOGLE THE ATLANTIC CITY SPEEDWAY. OR NORTHEASTERN VINTAGE STOCK CAR ASSOCIATION.

THANKS AGAIN
ALREADY KNOW ABOUT NORTHEAST VINTAGE STOCK CAR ASSOCIATION.

I AM LOOKING FOR A COMPANY THAT MAKES OR SELLS VINTAGE BODY PARTS, EITHER SURPLUS OR REPLICAS, ECT……

maxpowerrys asked:


i found this truck in a dealer for this price. The truck comes with a rebuilt title and the dealer said it might need some suspension work. The interior (all leather) is in excellent condition and the exterior just needs the front bumper painted. Is it worth it and will I have any problems with the rebuilt title? I have a 1999 subaru legacy that had a salvage title because it was damaged but my dad is a auto body repair man so we fixed it and I havent had any problems. Ive had that car for 6 years now. Is it worth it or will I have to put in a lot of extra money to get it fixed?
