Occasionally on Craigslist I see ads for cars with the heading "For Parts Only, Bad Title". I wonder how you get a "bad title". Does this mean the car is stolen?

But if the car has real value, DMV might ask you to post bond, which is a pain. |

Replying to: cccompson (Jan 14, 2009 6:28 pm) When I see someone stating "clean title" or "clean carfax," it makes me think they are hiding something. If it has had no accidents, I'd say "no accidents." If it has had an accident that doesn't show up on carfax, that's when I'd say (if I were dishonest) "clean carfax." I'm not disclosing the accident, but I'm not telling a lie, either. |
