As evidenced by the group of Mopars that were sold thru a dealer a few months back that went sour, just keeping the title isn't the protection you would think it should be. The dealer can still sell the car, take the money and leave you hoping he passes the money on to you. You can't just go get your car back from the guy that legally bought it from a licensed dealer. And if the dealer spent your money you are gonna be miserable. I would check in person to make sure your car is still there on probably a weekly basis. I know first hand accounts of a dealer out here that was tight on finances and solved his problems by selling cars and keeping the money. Yes he has a few judgements against him but all he has is now gone so those with the judgements will never get a thing.

More good information. I met with a forum member and a consignment dealer at my house today. With their system, the car and docs stay here at my house and the dealer handles the marketing.

I think their is a few brokers who hang here who dont take the car. Keep the car in your garage and he does everything for you.
But hey what do I know !!!

10-4. This seems to be the method that is in my comfort zone. It seems like most of the guys here deal in "uber-rare" iron and my stuff leans to the "mundane junk" end of the spectrum.

Jude, it was good to met y'all today. My buddy passed on the Challenger T/A but he is considering the HO T/A. I'll call you in a couple days. I think if I twist my wife's arm a little more she will be ready to part with the rager.

Jim

He can take the 100 phone calls and e-mails asking for pictures and ALL the info they can mustard up and get NO call back to even say nice car.. Some people would really just like to sell their car and dont want to deal with that !!

I always say: The people that are crying about the prices of today were still crying when they were 20K

Wish you luck !!

Its harder then ever to sell a car before BJ and the ones calling are usually the guy looking to see every # on the car for their own info & picture collectors.. Just my 5 cents.

Put it on e-bay 10 times with buy it now and hear ALL the stupid offers
