1975 FJ 40

I just bought a fj40 that's missing motor for 5500, and just found out it has a salvaged title. Should I go take it back or keep it and sell it

 

If you plan on using it as a dedicated Wheeler, salvaged title shouldn't matter.

If you plan on restoring it completely and keeping it pristine in order to re-sell at some point, then I would be concerned about the title.

Either way, it's a sweet li'l 40!!! I love those rigs

 

What are your plans with it? If it would be strictly a toy, who cares the title is salvaged. If the frame is straight and nothing looks unsafe, I'd say keep it and have fun building.

 

Was this craigslist? That is really shady that the salvaged title wasn't disclosed to you prior to purchase. I would return it unless you are 100% in love with it.
I had a '67 FJ40 and what fun those things are.
It seems for that price, you can get much better than a salvaged title rig with no engine.

 

ya i think im going to return it, I bought it to flip it and make some money on it. but since that happened its not worth much

 

all things considered you should just chalk it up as a loss.... and give it to me

 

ya ive been hearing that all week at work
