So i saw this add and am wondering about making it a cheap project, it has title issues but I have been looking into a little something to drive around my parents place so that wouldnt be a problem, and then I would be able to work on the engine and get better at working on these things, ill probably offer the people like 250 or so .. what do you guys think?

:rofl True that!


This is one of those times where one has to weigh the risks. If interested, it's worth entertaining the deal, and getting a good look at the paperwork to make sure all is legit. If it was me, I would even call the DMV and verify. The ad poster should have no problem with you verifying if what they say is true. Keep us posted.

Yeah I agree, first and foremost I'll check the frame and see how it is. and if it is not in bad condition than I will see what I can do about the title. I would love a 5-speed metro seeing how I drive a 2000 eclipse and I know I can do better than 29 mpg in a metro driving into the wind uphills both ways to work :smackface

I'm the type of person that would get caught for swapping vins, but i'd never do it anyways :rasp but he emailed me back and said you have to get it inspected by the highway patrol but that it wont pass because it is ugly, I dont see why it wouldnt pass except if the frame is shot so I will for sure go take a look at it! :thumb
