It's a coin flip as to if they even have a title for it.

Shame is, I would kill for a cheap 964 Targa project. But even if they were asking 10k, I wouldn't pick up the phone.

you need to get over the title thing! didn't you get your title? These big dealers buy cars that still have loans on them, pay them off and wait for titles to come in - it takes the DMV time to get that work done, you got your title, you got your car and sounds like you don't have a problem with the car, just how long the title got to get, c'est la vie, thats life, complain to the DMV!

it is amusing to read this thread... much of it is cringe worthy and such a waste of energy

folks trying to find a bargain in the 964 market...

there are so many folks looking/wanting, yet so few around that have been 'undiscovered' by knowledgeable folks ... markets are never totally perfect but when there is enough interest in one like the 964 market, one has to operate on the fair assumption that real market imperfections are very very rare

i have chased down a number of 964 manual hardtop c2's lately... (i have no interest in verts, tips. targas, and i already have a nice c4 that is a keeper)... like folks here who have been around the block like mooty, chris n, anthony etc etc say -- when you factor in the rehab work that needs to be done (esp. if you pay shop rates) there are simply NO bargains... you pay now or you pay later... for a well performing, well sorted, well put together 964, modded or not

of course if you are prepared to have a broken down, sloppy, decrepit 964 and are prepared to live with it, then bargain hunt away!

Dealer does not have to do anything with the DMV on a title. They pay off the loan, the seller has filled out paperwork selling the car to the dealer giving the loan holder (bank) authorization to assign the title and send the title to the dealership. The dealer can then assign the title to the next buyer. The only delay comes when the bank drags their feet after the dealer pays off the note.

Bank, DMV all takes time, thats why i like to have the title on hand when selling a car. I think a dealer or Private seller should be up front about the title situation, if they don't have it on hand that should be disclosed so the buyer knows what to expect time frame wise.

back on topic 1989 C4 in new mexico with engine and gear box rebuilt. looks like a good deal, the D90's even look fine on this one.

yes, that is the correct procedure and sequence. however, it doesn't always happen that way. I sell an buy a LOT of cars.
here is one example:
A sells a car to dealer with a lien
dealer flows the money, not pay of lien, claim car as inventory, put it up for sale.
stalls the seller on paying.
car sold in 6 weeks
collects the money from buyer
use that money to pay the lien
pay the equity to original seller
pay the debt off to the bank
gets title, then assign to buyer.
that takes approx 4 weeks in CA.
if dealer or private seller already have the title in hand, then it takes less than 4 weeks.
so there is indeed a time difference and some ppl (me) are extremely impatient.
but other buyer/seller may be ok with that. just want to make sure that they know there is a time delay in this example. the delay may be be 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc. but it is a delay nevertheless

there are no bargain 964 bc you bought them all.
the diamond blue one I saw yesterday was the 57th in your warehouse? I think you have more of them then singers has in storage.
that said, I have bought a fraction of your collection, only 9 964's. there are NO bargain.
as I said with porsche, you pay now or you pay later, pay pay pay and keep on paying.


Absolutely.
but no many ppl build cars right like you and spyerX does. I would pay him $61,398 for his red car any time

fasterlaster

That's one of the few '89s I've seen like mine with the chrome (or polished) D90s. No photos of the engine bay, wonder how tired it is?

Spyerx

Lets see i paid up, and i'm still paying. How does this work again?
You'd hate the red car now. First, it's red. Second, it smells funny and its kinda noisy.

...but then some of the same people in this thread will try to convince a seller that their car isn't worth anything, attempt to buy it for a "bargain" and then go on to tell a future buyer how there are no bargains out there. #closetflippers
