Big-time bummer

I bought my car almost a year ago from some guy and the title was clean, just got a letter from the attorney general saying 'no yer car is fucked, salvage title and all now fuck you, btw we might give you up to 1400 even tho you paid 5k for it' so yup now lookingat carfax cause they have this 'buyback gaurentee' thing but i dunno if i qualify cause i registered later then right away i'm bummed soo bad

That sucks major....sorry to hear.
Its odd??

uhm wat? wats odd

Clean then salvaged title????
unless I read wrong???

Who did you buy the car from?

some hispanic guy downtown :( and yeah it was clean and now its salvage title

Id sue, thats messed up......LEMON LAW

i thought lemon law was only for brand new cars

Do you know how to locate this "hispanic" guy? you might need to sue him.

BTW lemon laws are for new cars that roll crappy off of the lot not those who have been wrecked into trees and such. :smokin:

No....for any selling car, if he lies, lemon.
In Cali anyway, I dont know if its different in every state or what

imma ask a lawyer 2morrow and i got his sister's info cause it was in her info and had to transfer stuff etc so yeah i'm pretty sure i got all the stuff. i'd sue his sister since she owns the car not him if i can / be worth it

Id go all out to get the original price, a little over 1000 is ridiculas.......

Yeah that or strip the car for its parts, get a shell of another one and TRANSFER!

maybe for the transfer i dunno really i found out its fraud what he did so i'm gonna give him a call soonish

Several years back i bought 3 camaros thru the insurance auction in NJ. all 3 had NJ Salvage Titles.
I completely restored all 3 and took them thru the TN Department of Safety for their inspection process and got all 3 new clear titles for those cars.
GM even re-instated the factory warranty on them.
They were not half-@ss rebuilt though. No shorcuts were taken and EVERYTHING was back to factory specs when finished.
When they were sold, Everything was disclosed to the buyers upfront and there was no problems at all.

Evidentally, the guy that sold you the car didn't follow the legal route for restoration, or the ethical route in letting you know that the car was rebuilt

Probably both cause im gonna look into the previous insurance claim to see if they knew what was up. basically it make the 5,000 camaro worth 2000 so im gonna ask for the difference keep the camaro etc it was restored good enough to not look like it was in an accident at a glance but mechanics told me it had front end damage about a month after i bought it

your posts make my head hurt.

Son of a bitch! Shenanigans! Shenanigans!

*edit okay i'll be constructive

didn't you look up the vehicle history report? That would have had all of the legal, need to know stuff right?

i dun want a drink bro thx i want to deck the guy who bsed me the car nd korn is my font too small???

That's a South Park reference I made. The county fair episode when the cows commit mass cow suicide.

My car had not only been in an accident, it was sold out of a junkyard(but not junked) so I used something like carfax reports. You gotta pay but it's worth it in the long run.

I'd assume anything on there is the only proof of a rebuild, and registration etc.

uhm i got a carfax and it said its clean :( but i just got a letter saying carfax was wrong

uhm i got a carfax and it said its clean :( but i just got a letter saying carfax was wrong

Can you sue carfax? I'm serious

what exactly is the problem? its got a salavaged title... but your still driving it right? so im not exactly sure what the problem is, who cares if it has a salvaged title, i will trade you my cav with a clean title for your camaro with a salvaged one.

no no lemme explain

bought car carfax said has clean title, owner said has clean title

yesterday i got al etter from state saying 'no uh yer screwed the car doesn't have a clean title its a salvage title, it was a total loss crash etc yourscrewed but this happened before you bought it andwe know that'

so carfax offers buyback guarentee thingie if it happens like that they purchase it back for what i paid for it so i hope that works + insurance compensation + small claims court for fraud = newer car is wat im thinkin, ya see???

no your font isnt small...just the way you type. I cant stand reading it lol

o welz :) get betta eyez

oh, i under stand, its not the fact that it has a salvaged title its the fact that you purchansed it thinking it was a clear title, either way to me, i wouldnt give a shit.

i've put in like 3,000$ into it and i can't sell it for more then 2000$ when i stilll owe 4000$ + its called fraud, you may not care but i do cause its my hard earned money

You might want to point out to the state the sales price that you paid sales tax on. I don't know what kind of car we're talking about, you have a 97 acura in your profile.... if that's it, then I'd get the blue book and black book, the receipt showing how much the sales price and sales tax you paid, and ask them how they're coming up with $1400? There's no way it depreciated $3600 in one year, and if they'e only goin to give you $1400, you should ask for a refund on the sales tax you paid on $3600. If they can up the value of a car for sales tax purposes, then when they lower the value they should have to refund the tax you paid.

uhm wth are you talkin about???????

i bought the car thinking it was a clean title when it was already wrecked
someone just turned in an insurance claim to get money outta the car so now its salvage
i get screwed out of the value because salvage camaro worth 1500-2000 vs the camaro with clean title is 4500-550
so might sue for the diff between salvage title vs clean title

Correct me if I'm wrong here... I thought you said you paid like 5000 for it and the state is going to give you 1400 for it and crush it? IF that's the case then I'd want a refund from the state of the sales tax I paid on the higher value.

uhm no insurance company voluntarily giving me 1400 for compensation since no one made it a salvage title which they should have the suing is something completely diff
