Mk3 price?

[basshead]

alright well after some more searching around I found a mk3 with a 1jzgte swap already in it. The price is right lol $1500 but here is the reason... no title or he lost it. and the previous owner passed away. is there any way he can get a replacement title. I don't want to buy the car then go to get it registered and they take the car after spending $1500 cause its stolen. I said I would offer some extra money if he can replace it. I know his situation because the shop I bought a vespa motorscooter from went out of business so we couldn't produce a bill of sale and since the state of maryland doesn't title anything under 50cc a lot of people wouldn't buy it. Being put in that situation sucks.

So the fee in new jersey is $60 bucks for a replacement I would give him $100 for the trouble of it I guess. But here is the problem if he gets a title he can sell the car for a lot more possibly then I am screwed cause I lose out on the car.

here's a rule to follow in life... dont get greedy.

in the end it bites you.

If you buy it without a proper title.. what's the worst that can happen?
(lose the car and the money?) If you can do a title search and verify no leins and that he is the actual owner.. you are probably safe.. but I dont know your state laws.

I would do it right or not at all.. I have done far too many "good deals" in my life that have cost me a lot more than I thought.

Im in Canada.. so that could never happen.. lol. We title cars a bit different.
