I bought a stolen Tacoma

So the vehicle was recovered, but what about the tape deck and the creedence?

 

or the stolen story is to throw you off. A lot of the cars that were in natural disasters in the south are being sold in the north because they don't have to list them as salvaged. It happened to a co-workers son who bought a truck for $32,000 many years ago and found out that is was only worth about 6000 when he went to sell it. I also bought a car from a guy that had been stolen. I had to pay the back 3 years of registration in CA.

 

Hahaha

 

Agreed. I'm not worried. I think the first thing to do is see if I can get the police report. I'll go from there.

 

Bought an 2001 and 12 years later I lost my pink slip when moved to new house had to dublicate the title so your case might just be the same

 

WRONG. Guy I bought mine from did a little insurance thing when his friend was out drinking and crashed it. (Minor crash into a pole, air bags didn't deploy). Oh it was stolen.... But I played it hard core and dropped the price 5 grand. Still clean title

 

That sucks. Hard.

 

If I understood right at least in Ca. A salvage title is issued to a vehicle that was deemed "totaled" but not a total as in unable to be safely repaired for public highways, or repaired at all, It's generally a stopping point for adjusters to stop calculating damage $$$ amount & write off the loss as "totaled" Which the vehicle can be repaired road worthy & re-assigned as a salvage status, it CAN be fully insured & will be covered should another loss occurs but at a reduced rate...

 

Op any update?

 

OKAY. Can I ask what "little insurance thing" he did?

 

Not yet. I work too damn much.

 

This. It's called "DISCLOSURE" and it doesn't sound like they followed the law regarding your truck. They need to make this right for you or I would contact an attorney. (and I wouldn't go this route unless it's your last resort.) Good luck.

 

So I still haven't brought up the stolen part to the dealer. However, they forgot to have me sign a couple documents, so they've been hounding me to come back in the place. They're about an hour away though, and I haven't been able to get away. Today they revealed that if the papers aren't sent to the bank by Thursday, the deal is off. So I have a few days to think about keeping the truck or not.

 

I'd return it immediately. No doubt.

 

now I'm attached :/ should I keep it a while and trade it in later on?

 

Lusting after the 12+ ORs, can't seem to find any with a manual though

 

ORs are hard to find. Took me 6 months to find a deal. I settled on 2014 as the best year for me. I'd return it if you can and get what you want.
