Default I missed a 1K 928 by a couple hours

I was driving through PHX at 4:00. This one popped up sometime around 6:00 and was gone when I called at 9:00. Did any of you guys buy it?

I would buy a car from a dude who can't spell divorce. My guess is he lost everything, including the car... and is trying to unload it before the ex-wife finds out.

He was probably reading it off the back bumper ! Even for parts you really need a title so you KNOW who owns it.

And, you need to clear it through your DMV before you pull a single nut off it.

Exactly - they would be useless until you "spend $10k to make a $5k car".

A "free" (large) boat is even worse.... even if you don't use it, you are most likely paying someone for storage. Ask me how I know...

The deal that was missed is the guy who picked it up likely free to sell as scrap metal.
