Everyone gets a trophy? It appears to be a stolen car, STOLEN PROPERTY...He apparently own's it. The one who invested in stolen property loses, sad but true,a hard expensive lesson to learn. He may be a great guy, BUT..

Make sure you buy a car with a clean title. I've bought 100's...if something is fishy, I walk...no.. I run away!

I don't think Rich was saying it shouldn't be a snooze/lose situation..........just that giving the parts back / selling the car to them would be the morally responsible thing to do. Personally, I'd sell them the car for $3k and be done. </div></div>


Correct, the original owner should not be out of anything, and undoubtedly some upgrades cannot be taken off the car (body work etc) and should remain with the car, but it's also not fair IMO for him to get 7 times the value of the car back on some 16yo kids first car. I mean even here many post cars for sale and then say that the &quot;rims don't go with the car&quot; . Even license plates (J/k Charley) sometimes stay with the car. If the current keeper of the Camaro put on $4k rims, you are ok with the older owner getting them on a $2500 project car and too bad for the kid?

Sorry, that just seems wrong to me.

By the same token, the current owners should not damage the car in any way, even if they did body prep work or other non removable items.

I do think it should be the original owners choice:

1. Let the current person take his removable parts off the car without damaging it
2. Original owner to buy the cars upgrades for a very reasonable price
3. Let the current person buy the car for what it was worth, maybe a little more for &quot;interest&quot;

Sad thing is that we all know the cops won't trace this back. The person whom stole the car will probably get away with it......
