Subject: So I bought a car that can't be registered, need advice... by Josh on 2012/4/19 3:01:33 I recently bought a car that was seized for street racing a few years ago. When the guy got convicted, the judge ruled that the car could never be registered again and the VIN was tagged in the DMV computer as a no-go. I bought the car with the intention of parting it out, but it is such a nice car... It runs great, the AC is cold, everything works, it's in really good shape cosmetically, etc... As I stood there looking at it, blow torch in one hand sawzall in the other, preparing the hack it to pieces for the part-out process, I started to feel a little piece of my soul die. The car would make an amazing first hot rod for a teen / tween. It looks great, has great brakes, and enough horsepower to get you in trouble, but not enough that it gets out of hand easily, it's got low miles, seems dead reliable, etc... It seems stupid to destroy such a nice car because some judge wanted to make an example out of someone 4 years ago. Instead of killing my soul a little, I thought I'd ask around and see if someone had a suggestion on an appeals process that might get the ruling reversed or something. Any help is appreciated. |
