Would you pay $250 for this? - Page 2

I have bad luck with sawzall blades. No matter how careful I am, I quickly bind it up and bend it.

Do love my thin 4 1/2 cutoffs though.

I wouldnt pay that for it but that said ,you may check on this: in fl it is legal to remove vehicles from property with verbal permission from the owner of the property. however I removed 8 cars from property owned by Wallgreens drugs where they were going to build a new store. a guy from indiana called me from wallgreens and said he was the regional construction manager and would I remove the 8 cars. I did. 2 months later this guy from here calls me and wants $6000, for a 92 Izusu trooper which was one of the cars, claims he was restoring it. I told him to go smoke some more of what ever it was he was smokin. A month later the swat goons show up at my front door and haul me off to jail for grand theft auto. spend the week end there, and a year waiting for court with this hanging over my head, and of course it shows up in the paper, on TV and even on google. google my name and you will find it. Michael C Wier. suddenly Im this big time head of a giant car theft ring. I had about 50 cars at my storage lot, most with no titles. of course when my lawyer called walgreens head quarters in indiana they knew nothing about it. any way after a year of the court trying to get me to plead to something, and me telling them to just go ahead and feed house and cloth me for the next 5 years as well as my medical care" I ain't skeerd" they dropped all the charges. the moral of the story is get it in writing.

I passed on it since Idaho absolutely-no-exceptions requires a title to scrap it. I don't want any headaches like olddude had there.

I'll check those out. Thanks.

Wow it sucks to scrap cars in Idaho, here in Cali if I don't get a title I get a bill of sale and file a lien sale, costs me $16 per car and takes 2 weeks if i'm junking it or a month if I'm reselling it to another person. I can scrap a car with a title signed over to me (doesn't have to be in my name) or a DMV lost title form (has to be filled out by whoever the car is titled to and can't have a lienholder on file. If it were me I woulda paid $250 for that tempo if they had the title because I'd just haul it straight to the dismantler and get $350-425 depending on how high/low scrap is. Without title, no more than $150 because I have to store the car for 2-3 weeks while the lien is processing.

My brothers friend passed away a few years ago. My brother got control of the estate (was married to his friends sister). Sold me the guys 94 S10 Blazer for $200, without a title. Title was never found. I beat around with it and was going to part it out, but lost my garage space, plus it died, and I didn't care to fix it. Cut the cat, pulled the radiator and aluminum running boards, chain pulled it to the junkyard and over the scale. Got a little over $300 for everything I brought in, sold the rims and tires for $150. (this was a few years ago and scrap was down a little at the time.) All the yard had me do was fill out a piece of paper with my name, info, and vehicle info. Cash money. Chain pulled a 1987 Pontiac Sunbird about a year before that, never even asked for a title or made me fill anything out. Sold a Pontiac Bonneville to a different yard about 2 years ago, no title, all they did was took a copy of my license and hauled it off. I love Wisconsin.
