how come usually stay away from them
what makes them bad

i understand it was previously stolen, or wrecked, but if your buying a stolen shell, you know what your getting into, you know whats missing


but like are they hard/expensive to insure? other problems?


id just like to know what hidden surprises im in for, i get that the car is stolen, and is missign parts, that im cool with, im just worried about registering the car and insuring the car, i dont want to it to be super expensive to insure, its only goin to be a race car

I been involved with reconstucted cars for over 20 years and i never really seen what the big deal is as long as you know it was rebuilt in the right way. but with people just throwing the cars together for a quick resale thats where that get a bad name. and theres no resale value, so if you looking to buy the car for a deal and then try to trade it in your not gonna get anything for it.

Stolen cars a cake, as long as the thieves didnt use a crowbar and a sledge hammer to remove everything.

Personally id rather fix a stolen/wrecked car myself than buy a car that was in an accident and some hack body shop threw it together just for that quick insurance check.

I bought my type R for parts over 7 years ago and when i got it home it wasnt that bad,i fixed the car with all acura parts and never had a single problem.insurance isnt an issue, all mine needed to know is what kinda car it was and how many miles i drive it and thats what i told them. as far as getting a title see what your state recommends everyone is different. for example in PA you have to fix the car(obviously) and take it to a certified inspection station that the state recommends and have it looked at,show all your recipts for the parts used to fix the car and then they give you your stickes and registration card. prior to this way you needed before and after pictures, then take it to any inspection station,fill out a booklet and then send your paper work and pictures in then in 2 weeks(if you were lucky) you got your registration back and could go get it inspected for real and drive it.

so if your gonna fix it yourself do it right,use oem parts,save your recipts,be very wary of frame damage(i actually went to school for that) and enjoy.

if you have any questions feel free to pm me and i'll help you any way i can.

 

i whouldnt be buying a wreck, only a theft recovery

guess ill hit up my mva and get some info from them about this state


hopefully i dont have to return the car to stock so i can register it, that whould be a big waste of money, because this car whould be a race car for me, not really any stock parts will be used

 

only thing to worry about is if it was wrecked and there was frame or suspension damage. that can be difficult to fix. theft recoveries can be great opportunities.

Yep, each state can be drastically different. Depending on the title status, some states won't even register it (NY won't let you register a Junk, Non-Repairable, or Parts-Only titled car...regardless of the actual condition of the caR).
But if you're just building a race car (trailered to events), then f the state
Theft recovered cars can have wiring nightmares...

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> I also deal with Salvaged Vehicles in the state of NJ. I have never had a problem with the cars I have purchased in the past. Basically all you need to pass inspection is proper paper work, receipts, etc. Each state has basically the same rules, except for a certain few that each state demands. NJ inspection is pretty quick, less than a two week turnaround ( for me ), maybe others have longer wait periods. Feel free to pm, if you have any questions. </FONT>
