SOLD 1993 R1 Ls1/T56 <75k mi *$15.5k obo

[Live2drive15]

I ran a Carfax. Car was issued a Salvage/Rebuilt title (in IL) in 1995 with less than 5k miles on the car. Then issued another rebuilt title in Iowa. Then it was sold out of state to Indiana and somehow became a “clean title” again.  Which seems odd. I guess you could say that the car is ok, since it seems to have made it to 70k+ miles since then.  Best to look at the car in person and check it out thoroughly if you’re interested.

So a washed title, aka fraud. Thank you for the info.

Yep, that's what it looks like to me.  I dunno if the seller knows this or not.  I'd hope if he did he wouldn't advertise it as a clean title car.

Was looking forward to check the car out. Too bad the car has a bad history.

I want to sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone who has shown any interest in the car. The previous salvage/rebuilt title was unknown to me and is upsetting to say the least. The previous owner (spinner360) had informed me on a potential previous accident, but also harassed me to sell him the car in the process so all claims were dismissed. I had purchased the car locally, it looked extremely clean and it held a clean title when I made the purchase and so I had no reason to believe otherwise. Again, I am truly sorry for the misleading information as it was never my intention.

I think the worst thing about salvage titles is they don't indicate the reason it was salvaged. Could just be theft recovery..... or really bad accident, no way to tell.  Might be worth taking to a shop and have them thoroughly inspect for signs of repair.  At the end of the day, if it was an accident and it was repaired properly, then it should be fine IMO.  Just be open with possible buyers, get documented inspection and I think it should be okay.

I’ll play too...

What was the intent behind creating and using a username on here that looks identical to the previous owner’s?
Why has no one capitalized on that?  Red flag for me.

The intent was a simple nickname I have had for years. I am the only owner of this car with that name, though I will admit there is another user here with a similar screen name... Not sure why I have to explain myself to a complete stranger who is making assumptions. I made a mistake assuming the clean title meant a clean title, simple as that.

Given that the car at one point was issued a salvaged title in 1995 and was apparently washed the same year I would like to lower the price and allow any potential buyer to make their decision on how they would like to go about this information. That being said the car was titled, registered, and inspected every year since 1995 in four different states. The car has never given me any trouble and as far as any potential damage, I have had the car thoroughly inspected on a lift with no signs of any damage whatsoever. I also welcome any potential buyer to give their own inspection. Again, I apologize for the unintentional misleading information. The new price with all extras included is $15,500/OBO or $15,000 minus the extras and stock tail lights installed. All questions and critisisms are welcome.
