6G Celicas Forums

ok so i was flipping through craigslist last night and came across a good deal i think, too bad i dont have the freaking cash! but id rather see a celica guy pick this up because it needs some work. if anyone is interested and contacts the seller if you come down here would be no issue if you need help getting to the guys place(i do not know him or am affiliated with him) but as i said would rather see this go to a celica guy then an idiot around here who will just let it sit and rot. anyways the interior is thrashed but exterior seems to be in really good condition, engine dont look too bad but looks like it needs some work. but anyways heres the link!

Had me until no title.

Lol yep

Good thing you don't need a title to register cars, in some states, after they are so many years old! Just need a bill of sale.
I'd totally take this if I had the money

Even in those states you'd have to wait until it was over 25 years old to register it. I just don't trust buying a car without a title, my luck it'd be stolen.

lol 1000 for the tittle. must be printed in gold...

Maybe if it's an ultra rare WRC, it might be.

it is 25 years old

You don't say? My state requires a title for all cars from 1976 onward, so it's still of no use to me.

yeah the extra grand for the title is stupid, if i would buy it i would ask for the contact information myself dude is just trying to get extra money when the car is not worth 2500 in that condition.

I bet it was stolen. I'm sorry, but who buys a car without getting the title as soon as they hand over the money?

i doubt its stolen, we dont have a stolen car problem around here. from what the post said they was going to use it as a track car which i do believe, so thats why he didnt put the effort forth for the title, and he bought it from a sick friend who has passed on before he got the title.but im betting you contact the family and get a copy of the death cert. and you have a bill of sale with original owners name or a copy of that original bill of sale you should be able to get a title replacement. also, if someone was going to comit a felony, i doubt they would steal a ST185 not worth that much in that condition. theres much better cars around here to steal with idiots leaving their 50-70,000$ cars running with keys in the ignition. as i said there is not a big stolen car problem around here. also a quick call to the beaufort county sherrif with the vin number would tell you if its stolen or not so that is the least likely issue, and i dont think its hard in this state to get a replacement even if the vehicle is not 25 years or older. title issues can vary by state...like i said if someone is interested i could check it out(if still available) and grab the vin and see if all the vins match up and see if any frame work was done.

I just don't trust people. Even if I were going to use the car for track I'd still want the title to put it into my name. That's me though.

i did find out, theres companies that will do the title crap for you for 150$ so thats another option. http://broadwaytitle.com/ is one i found that does it....im not that trust worthy with others either, however, im betting there is a 95% chance the owner is a marine. but if you look at the house the guy lives in, i doubt someone stealing cars would live there, this area is mostly marines and retired folks, there are a bunch of bad seeds like anywhere and if they were to steal a car they would not sell it here, they would go to savannah,ga(45 minutes) or atlanta and bring it to a chop shop not try to sell it openly.

That's exactly what they would want you think. By doing the opposite of what you expect, they get away with it.

people really dont trust others...i would buy it for 1500 if i had it, worth that in parts alone for a rust free body.
