Hi guys. I just got home from looking at buying a 92 hatch. I asked the owner what was wrong with the car. She said it has been sitting here for about 6 or 7 years due to the previous owners wife putting a "LEAN" on it because she divorced her husband and had to give all the cars back to him so she went to the dmv and putt some lean on it so now it cannot be registered only for parts. Car has low millage for a 1992 only about 92,xxx k miles on it. So my question here is, Is there anyway to register this car. And what would i have to go trough to due it. The people are asking 500$$$ for it i can easily take it for 200$ is it worth the troubles etc etc
If this is in the wrong forum fell free to change it......
Thanks guys

 

DANG no one kmon guys help me out

 

first off its not lean its lien. and yes i can help you i have went through this many times. if the lien is with a title company you can probably get it back. however if the lien is with a bank then you are screwed and its a chunk of metal. if its with a title pawn place or something like that then just find out whos name the title was in before the lien was put on it. and send off for a lost title in that persons name. when it comes back just sign thier name on the title as the seller and yours as the buyer. and resend it in. and its yours. i dont know of the laws in your state or how hard they enforce them. yes that is illegal. but in my state they dont really look into it. i have done it many times. lucky for me my uncle is a repo. man so thats how i found that out.


hope that helps

 

justin......so u are impliing that because ur uncle is a repo man....... u have done this????(my senses tingle) ur probably a ****in dirtbag thief in ur area that steals cars........d0ch3bAg.:

 

Seems a little shady to me...

 

yeah that sounds scepticall to me to what justin wrote....?
any more ideas guys...?
i dont want to drive the 80 plus milles to were the car is, tow it home, then find out that there is no way posible to register it?

 

Seems to me, whoever has the lien on the vehicle still has ownership. So the person who's trying to sell it to you, is doing so illegally.

 

I would not have bought that hatch if I were you. A few years back, I had the opportunity to buy a super clean '85 Toyota Corolla GTS for $150!!!! The bad thing about the deal was that the guy seemed to "misplace" the title. IMO, the guy either picked the car off the side of the road or he ganked it. It may have been a helluva deal but I didn't want to go to the DMV office and come find out the car is stolen. That's just too much headache to deal with.

 

yeah i gett what u mean...... Butt were the car is standing now, by a gas station. I asked the owners of the gas station hoss car it was they said go over to the next building so i did. The laddy said that ""no ones" the owner of the car now. Its not under no ones name. The old owner was a she so wen she divorsed her husband she had to give all the cars back to him so she went to the dmv and putt a lien **** thing on it. So from all that you guys said it is not worth even trying getting it................. if any of you guys need a clean hatch for 200-300 bucks with 92 k on it tell me ill tell u the address of were it is oh btw its in marrysville calli.................use it as a track car etc etc ......?

 

....f_uckk it....buy the car and get a notorized recipt including her name and license # address.etc. etc. and part it out bro.....with these tough times.....u gotta flipp them dollars to thousands.....better than what that d0ch3bAg said b4.

 

can you explain what u mean bi what u wrote .................?
whats a notorized receipt ........?
