I think this sucks for the guy who invested thousands of dollars into the car with his 16yo son. So you are OK with getting\taking 13k in upgrades on a car you said was worth 2500?

In My (not so) Humble Opinion, it is morally (I know not legally) wrong for you to keep the parts that this guy and his 16yo son put on the car.

You should either let them pay you the 2500 you said that car was worth, maybe 500 more for your troubles, or let them take the parts off the car that they put on after it was bought.

IMO, that would be the <span style="font-style: italic">right</span> thing to do.....

What is this Little league? 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.

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......

It's not always quite that simple. New titles have been issued on stolen cars. Going through the legal system to recover a loss can be very costly.

While you don't hear much about it, the major auctions have been known to catch a few stolen vehicles now and again, much to the surprise of the current &quot;owners&quot;.
