Dzimm Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 That's rediculous. Yeah sell it to someone out of state or sell it to someone in the state with them knowing that's what they are facing. I don't know how exactly their stupid laws work there but could you have family in another state register and plate it? Then "buy" it from them to avoid all the extra fees and crap from it not being registered? What about registering as a classic or show car?
dasbulliwagen Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I had one that was a generation before that, I think a '76 model, with that same engine, RWD. It was an awesome little car. I used it as a winter beater when I lived in Michigan, and had to put my old VW's away for the winter.
Pete M Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 as original as that car looks, there's just no way it's worth less than those taxes+scrap. I'm sure you can find a buyer if you don't want to keep it.
87Chief Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Pressure wash all that crap off. Detail it, then sell it.

FrankTheDog Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Also please don’t scrap it. 2 door rear wheel drive 5 speed Toyota’s will always find a willing buyer if the rust is minimal.

FrankTheDog Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 The 79 won’t be worth as much as the 77 but it’ll be worth way more than scrap.
BeaterComanche86 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Glad you still have it, and it’s not in the scrap yard.
FrankTheDog Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Was the car originally white or was that white painted on the brown?
Dammerung Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 Was the car originally white or was that white painted on the brown? The car was originally brown. I think the white may be some sort of primer or something, I’m not entirely sure.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MLT Lulu Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Just another vote for keeping it alive. I worked at a wrecking yard for three years, and it killed me to see stuff like that come in.
Dammerung Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 Good news: the car actually owes $160 in fees to register. Bad news: apparently the bank still owns it and it will need to be smogged. For right now, because the house it’s at will be sold in the next few weeks, she may be coming home with us. No junker for now though.
jdog Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 that sucks the bank still owns it, but good to hear its not going to the crusher
Dammerung Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 Well, a change of events happened. The car has now gone to the junker. A combination of the bank owning it, the original owner potentially being dead depending on who owned it (and subsequent confusion with the DMV), and a general need for an overhaul on the car all led to her goin to the yard. Pulled the badges off before she was taken though so I guess that’s a plus.
BeaterComanche86 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 That’s a bummer but you gotta do what you gotta do.
