that looks too damn clean.. i notice you're taking pics of this in your car... do you live where you can see the car in plain sight from your house?

what if the owner just uses the car when you're not looking..?

Too good to be true. Don't get your hopes up too much when you come to find out that someone does own it. I agree with a lot of people here saying it's too clean to not be someone's. I'm also thinking it might be a college students or something who couldn't take it with them.

I mean if it is up for grabs, congrats, but don't get too hyped up over something that might be too good to be true. I also agree with snowflakes ^^^ take a pic of the rotors so we can see if it's been used recently. If it has rained and snowed, that will tell all. They should be rusted to hell after a year of that crap. A lot of rotors get rusty after even a couple days of rain...

I say the owner probably pass away, or just out of the country for "insert reason here" without knowing people can "salvage" their car like that.


but dont expect to get this car for free, when the cops take it away, they probably gonna auction it off.

PM me the location. I get people to salvage it. I know lawyers

the owner prob came and took it. haha either that or someone beat him to it.


But it could be abandoned but I doubt it. Car fax it, check for signs that it's been sitting. A quick call to the state in which it's registered would answer all questions. Call the DMV there report that it has been left on your property and would like to contact the owner of the vehicle to have it moved.

i work for the dmv, most states have a lein sale program to remove cars like this from the street. problem is, this program is for low value vehicles. Solution? Claim the car as a low value car, **** it prob doesn't run so you could claim its a shell. Do the necessary paperwork, DMV handles it for you and sends it back to you. You'll have to contact the owner by mail then 30 days later, that sweet FD is yours!!



DOOOOO EEEEEEEET
