Is it legal to buy a car from the junk yard before it's put in the compactor?
Favorite Answer:It would depend on specific laws in the location, but it is usually legal to purchase junk cars from a junk yard.
Some people do this because they use the junk car for parts. Other people do it because they have found a junk car they want to restore.
The title might be slightly different due to it being considered "junk". You might have to go through some extra inspections to have the car actually considered "street legal" again. This also depends on laws specific to YOUR location and this might not apply to your location or situation.

Good places to look for wrecked cars?
So I’ve been searching for months for an fd rx7, but everyone wants $30,000 and up for it. And the prices might go higher, the longer I wait. I could get it right now, but I don’t want to be in debt. It’s my dream car. So I’m willing to look for at least a shell because I’ll keep it for the rest of life and build it over the years.

How can i go look at a used car alone?
I have never done this before as my first car was handed down to me. I could buy a new car from a dealership but i want something cheap that i won't worry about when i park it outside and it gets scratched so im looking on craigslist from private owners since i heard you can save the most money. I found one car i kinda like it got 61k miles and cost only $7,900. How can i go check this car out alone? would i take a uber ride to the guys house to go look at the car and maybe even buy it?

How long should i wait to trade my car in?
I'm a 34 year old man. I bought a 2012 mustang coupe premium in september of 2020. I made a stupid decision to buy it and knowing it was out of my price range. The car was $14,994 and my car payments is $355 a month. I know i have to live with my stupid decision for awhile. I wasn't more open to 4 door cars like sedans like i should have. I been having buyers remorse crisis since october. I wish i was open to 4 door cars for money market reasons of finding something that was more affordable in my money market. The $13,000 and over is out of my money market range. I knew i couldn't afford to buy the mustang but i ended up making that stupid decision anyway. My car loan is for 66 months. I'm not planning to keep my car for all 66 months due to getting a apartment with my 2 friends in the next few years and i don't want to be having high car payments when that time comes. I really can't afford the $355 car payments but i'm gonna ride it out for awhile until i'm able to get positive equity when i owe on the car less than what it's worth, refinancing isn't an option because i'm not planning to keep the car for all 66 months, sporty cars are way too expensive. I'm planning to move on to 4 door cars in the future and knowing i can get something that's more affordable in my money market. I live with my parents so that's why i can't afford to live on my own solo. My question is how long should i wait to trade my car in for something more affordable that's in my price range?

I might buy a used car from a dealership for the first time soon – why would they list the car below value?
I did a search for VW Passats in the area and found the exact model I want at a dealership about 50 miles away. It's a 2008 silver Passat with only 87,000 miles listed well below book value, which I don't understand. Why would they do that? It had no discernible cosmetic blemishes from what I could tell by the photos.
It's at a Honda dealership, so could it be a bargain price because it's a VW not a Honda, and they want it to move quickly?
I even pulled up the Carfax report using the VIN to see if there was something wrong with it, but its record is stellar – all scheduled services done on time, it's passed the smog test (required here in California every 2 years), the last one was passed a month ago.
And the dealership has only had it a few weeks, so it hasn't been sitting there for a long time.
I even checked its title & registration status on the DMV website and it appears totally clean, no back fees or anything (not that I'd expect any from a dealership, but I went searching for "dirt" on the car and couldn't find any).
The only thing is it's had three previous owners, so I'd be the fourth. I don't know why three people would've sold it previously.
2) The second part of my question is, what should I expect from the dealer if I do decide to buy it? I usually buy my cars from individuals, as dealerships have such a bad reputation

Can I change new cars?
I recently leased/financed a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 in mid-December. I'm not a big fan of its small size and tendency to fight against the wind, especially behind semis. I have been thinking about going back to Dodge or switching to Jeep, but I'm not sure what I can do with the Mirage.

Am I in the wrong?
I’m a teenager and my parents recently bought me a new car after my old one broke for good. I had talked about getting a new car soon anyway and had always said I would want an awd or 4wd sedan as my next car. And i also mentioned how I would want it to be newer with not that many miles on it so that i can have it for a while. I also said that I didn’t want a German car bc ik that the upkeep is expensive (my previous car was german) and i wouldn’t be able to keep it in good condition. My parents decided to get the COMPLETE opposite of what i wanted. They got me a rather large suv, expensive german brand, old, with A LOT of miles on it. It was a surprise so I had 0 input on it. My previous car was a small car and I had always expressed how I would never want an suv bc the size makes me nervous and I have no need for a big car. I also noticed that the brakes aren’t too good. I’m insanely thankful for having a car bc many kids my age have to actually work for theirs, but i’m curious to know if i’m in the wrong if I ask to sell the car and use that money to buy something that I would actually feel comfortable driving and something that would save me money in the long run.

Negative equity car loan?
Favorite Answer:You are right, refinancing is not an option because $640 a month is WAY too much for an original $24K loan. My guess is that you are considerably upside down where even selling the car and paying off the loan will require a huge chunk of cash. Your best bet is to find a way to continue paying the $640 a month until you are n longer upside down, which will be very near the end of the loan.
