Well my 93 rx7 needed a rebuild quick, i didnt have the money, so i traded the vehicle for a 96 eclipse gst from a dealer...

bad move i know!

so the dealer told me the title was clean and clear on the eclipse. so everything went through, i signed the rx7 over to them.

well, that was on jan 5 2007. its now may 22 2007 and i still dont have the title for the eclipse. wtf.
not to mention i have no temporary registration. my tags expired jan 07, and i find out that the car has a repainted passenger front fender, with bondo on the door pillart connected to windshield, and it looks like the passenger airbag blew, because the bag cover isn't flush, its sticks out a little!!!


how long does the dealer have to show proof of title? i know its less then 5 1/2 months.

how long does my sales contract last? seeming thats the only thing i have!

and if the vehicle is salvaged what happens? is the deal off? or do they refund me the worth of the RX7?

im in california



any chances of getting my rx7 back, it now has a rebuilt motor

 

First off, a LOT of DSMs passenger airbag covers dont sit flush. Heat (your in Cali) and humidity will affect plastic over time, keep in mind this car is eleven years old.
Sounds to me more like he had a rust or paint problem that caused him to repaint/bondo. Look at the frame, underneath... does it look like there is damage?
BTW, (In NY anyway) salvage title means that the car was totalled out by an insurance company, which means a dealer couldnt sell or trade it to you. Why dont you just get a hold of them and retrieve the title?
If youre that worried about it, maybe you could carfax it or something?

 

Yep, those passenger airbags are funny. I bought my car new and that airbag has never sat flush with the rest of the dash.

 

I got (my first) Talon in 96 (it was a 95)... it had it, and so does my new(er) 95.

 

this is a question to ask either the dealer or a lawyer... looks like this will turn into a legal matter. either you were suposed to contact the dealer on retrieving the title and other info yourself, or the dealer is a fraud... are they well known?

 

i still want an rx-7 but i don't want to get rid of my eclipse to get one, it sucks.

 

lol, sure, why not? I mean, RX7s are about as reliable as DSMs...

 

that's a good point. they may run better (as long as you take care of them) but paying for the upkeep basicall equivicates to the price of a breaking down DSM.

 

Yup yup, my brother is big into rotary Mazdas. I was into DSMs... were both goin broke takin care of the cars, lol.

 

why do we do this to ourselves? we should all go out and buy Toyota Prias' good mileage, good reliability... yea. i duno where i was going w/ that, brainfart. i'd much rather have my evo at 500whp getting 10mpg lol
