Pete M Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Since I'm stuck up in Michigan till Easter, I might need some help from our Georgia members. The guy is trying to part this beauty out. :fs1: When I emailed asking about buying the truck whole, he said "parts title. parts only". Is there such a thing as a "parts title"? Or is it just a salvage title? Is a salvage title different in Georgia? Here In Michigan it isn't a deal breaker. The truck is 2wd, so it's not like there's a ton of money to be made off it. plus I'd be happy to just leave the drivetrain with him. I'd be replacing most of it anyway. truck seems to be in Dallas GA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is there such a thing as a "parts title"? Or is it just a salvage title? Is a salvage title different in Georgia? I've never heard of one. Might wanna give a Georgia DMV a call to see what that's supposed to mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jteckmann Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Is there such a thing as a "parts title"? Or is it just a salvage title? Is a salvage title different in Georgia? He's probably talking about a "salvage title". I went through this when my wife had her car totaled by the insurance co. while we were living in Atlanta. In Georgia, a salvaged title says you can only sell for parts or scrap. If you're selling to anyone that plans on restoring the vehicle, then they have to be a state licensed re-builder. And only state licensed re-builders are allowed to apply for a new "rebuilt" title for it, after showing proof of work and having it inspected. But I don't know if the same rules apply between states. My guess is that you'd need to call your local DMV and see if they'd accept a Georgia salvage title. Then call Georgia DMV and see if they waive the "licensed rebuilder" part because you're an out of state buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If the seller has a salvage yard, it could also be a BOS title, thats what they used for the 'cash for clunkers'. They cannot be rebuilt, only parted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jteckmann Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Good point - could be a possible CFC. I googled the GA DMV. Here's their rules for salvage and rebuild titles: http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/motor/titles/needed/salvage.asp http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/motor/titles/needed/rebuilt.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STERLING STINGER Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If the seller has a salvage yard, it could also be a BOS title, thats what they used for the 'cash for clunkers'. They cannot be rebuilt, only parted out. cfc can't sell the whole vehicle they HAVE to part it out and there is only a 6 month lease that the junk yards get on these vehicles after the 6 months, if lease don't get renewed, (and it usually don't unless your donald trump or someone), they get smushed into BARNEY RUBBLE :doh: YABBA DABBA DOOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula69 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Junior (my 87 MJ) is aGeoriga 'salvage' titled vehicle. When you get the title you get a real title that has salvage typed on it in really small print. In Louisiana I will need to have it inspected and then the state will issue a new title that will still be shown as a 'salvage' title, but the vehicle will be titled and road-worthy.

Old man with MJ Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi Pete; Dallas is maybe 25 miles from me.Is it a jy,what parts do you need,where did you find the listing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Seems to be a used car place. I'm guessing it's called "Universal Motors" since it was in the email addy. and I don't want parts, I want it to be not parted out. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
