Did you check out Jamez' thread?

Might contain the right info for people/departments that you need to contact...

[riceeater]

it does have a lot of good info but nothing on salvage titles.. thanks though

[AllGoNoShow]

What gave it the Salvage title?

[riceeater]

it was hit on the front (damage to hood, bumper and fender, and scratched along the side... guy claims there was no frame or structural damage, and everything has been fixed up

[AllGoNoShow]

mmm, might be beter off trying to get a salvage title removed down there via an inspection, then coming up with a clean title.

I know some of the improters are having no problems bringing parts cars in, but majority of those are cut right in half with salvage titles.

[riceeater]

that's a good idea... but wouldnt he have taken the salvage title off it if he could have? seems like the guy has sold a bunch of cars like this so he must know how everything works

here she be..remove the third T in http...

That my friend is what you call a "red flag".

[riceeater]

^^^ yeah but he has piles of good feedback. there's nothing wrong with imagining that this guy looks for slightly damaged cars, fixes the body damage and resells the cars. i'm sure tons of bodyshop guys do it locally

Invalid url, whats the exact title of the auction ill jsut search it.

just for the record, you can buy feedback and buy accounts. A friend of mine was buying some stuff for one cent here and there just to get his feedback up higher when he got a message from a guy who sells watches. He said something along the line of "I'll leave you free good feedback, just leave me feedback saying Nice Rolex, Great Deal"

Anyways, guess what happened to that guys account a couple of weeks later, "FAKE ROLEX - SCAMMER" sort of feedbacks.

"2004 Dodge : Neon TURBO"

search SRT4 by highest price, the bidding is at 9250...something fishy i noticed is that most of his previous sales all look almost exactly the same... a lot of them show the same description of the damage and repairs....why would so many people be ok with what they got though and leave good feedback?

i'm aware of crap like that...most of his feedbacks are about car sales though... dont get me wrong, i'm being supersuspicios and doubtfull about this too

[tictactoe2004]

well, i checked out his account, guy seems legit I guess... good luck to ya anyways, let me know if you buy it cuz I wanna buy a car off ebay in the spring.

[riceeater]

^^ he does seem alright but it makes me wonder why he words all his auctions the same...now i have no idea where the actual damage was untill i see him and he shows me hte exact papers and all. keep the feedback coming guys, 3 hours left...

[AllGoNoShow]

Looks like he just uses a template for his sales then adds/removes as needed. so they all have the same layout and some of the same wording but the specific parts are different.

Picture layout etc.. is the same.

You can post the link with the item number. I believe this is the car to which you refer.

This yellow one isn't that much more and it's not a salvage. But there's almost 6 days to go.
