more good news with my car(sarcasim)

[318driver]

well, i found out why i was taken off of ebay. Turns out i had given false information in haveing a clean title. So i was like wtf. The past owner of the car had told me it had never been in an accident or anything. So i guy carfax for 1 month and it turns out that it once had a salvage title, then a rebuilt title, and on my registration now it stays standard. This is not a big problem, just a turnoff to future buyers, which accually is a big problem for me. Is there anything i can do about this with the guy i bought my car from??

How long ago did you buy it? Do you have any reason to believe he knew about the title issue?

Ive owned the car for exactly 1 year. Ive been trying to get in touch with him lately.

Cars can get salvage titles without really being in an accident. It gets stolen, and dropped, put into impound etc.

I doubt there is anything you can do.

May be a big difference between the Salvage title and the Rebuilt title. Salvage may just be a theft recovery. Rebuilt, well, that implies much more . . .

I looked at the Carfax. Looks like a small wreck in 1991. No info on the '94 wreck. While If I were buying it I'd want to inspect it closely, I would not be scared off unless an inspection turned up something. From the pictures I have seen, looks like it was repaired well.

6k with a salvage title...

[Jordan]

Salvage titles are a bunch of bulshit.

My mothers 95 M3 has a branded title "Previous damage in the state of California"

Some previous owner rearended someone (how do you manage to do that with those M binders?) anyways... the bumper cover, bumper, both fenders, and hood are new DOT-R replacements. The nose panel is the original one! I don't see how that is worthy of a branded title... the only damage beyond that is the front bumper carriers (that extend off the frame) were crumpled back about 6 inches. They were pulled out properly and are now mint.

[E30ownerwithanopinion]

i think once you start pulling out shit.....it does deserve such a title.......... see how mant times you can bend metal with it becoming fragil.
