Dunno, he passed me at a high rate of speed!

He had a temp tag, so I assumed that was the same one. Didn't know about the one at Harrison.
Last week I saw a silver 2012 (with the red interior) at The District.

I've always bought salvaged cars... Just look out for frame and rocker panel damage, avoid flood and electrical problems... But other than that I've had full coverage on salvage cars before but I typically just roll around with the state minimum anyways. Actually bought a 2007 dodge charger r/t (Daytona type) with ~8300 miles and when it arrived from California the state I was on gave me A clean title. Sold it at 90000 miles for what I bought it for, disclosing the accident history. No problems; great car too... Idk... Maybe I've been lucky, but I always look for salvageD vehicles.

There is such thing as a frame straightener but typically the car never rides the same... You can replace airbags... but... it's creepy to know you may possibly be driving around in something that someone died in...

Actually I'm looking for a 2008 ultrasonic blue isF that was purchased from a copart lot in 2010 on Marlboro, NY. The vin is: JTHBP262885002407 and has a salvaged history and was wrecked in CT. It had black aftermarket wheels... Maybe other stuff... Side damage and maybe front fender bumper and top...


If anyone knows the owner or how I can get in touch I'll buy it in the next week weeks for an agreeable price and I will come pick it up anywhere in the USA.
