I went to the PAP today and right when I arrived,just my luck,look what arrived at the same time

I know in AZ, unless they have recently changed the law, the plate stays with the car, when we have purchased cars out in AZ we always get the plate. Because I have never registered a car out there I am not sure if your issued a new one, but I know we always got the old one. I am pretty sure thats why those cars have the plates on them.

In MI, the plate is yours, you remove it when you sell the car. Even so, if you sell a car, and the car was illegally parked, and the officer gives the car a ticket, and there was no plate they use the VIN, if the title was never transferred your still responsible for the ticket. Kinda sux.

Upon further inspection turns out its a firebirdXS

heres int

It has mint steering wheel,gray haych panels mint,very good body,great gfx

Not true we sold a car about 2 years ago and did a release of liability we turned it into the dmv the next morning. a few weeks went by and we got a letter in the mail saying our car was impounded and we were responsible for 800.00 worth of fees. The person never transferd the title so we had to go to the tow yard and show them proof we turned in the form to the DMV.

ooooo what's it got??

EDIT: Lots of posts in a few minutes! Wanna mail me that XS emblem? I'll send ya a few bux... I always wanted one.

Its gotta a lot of goodies,I didnt get to look under the hood or car though.Pm me the addres you want it sent to and ill send ya one if there still there when I go back later today

What's wrong with that XS, If you can get it cheap enough I saw buy it and fix it up over time. It looks like a good shape car that might just need some TLC.

I cant have another car but if someone wants a good third gen firebird nows your chance before the voltures get to it in a matter of days

The ones around here do fuel but not oil or anything else.. Most times they dont even recover the R12 I saw a guy twisting the hell out of a ac line with vice grips (why?) and he got sprayed really bad. I made sure he was alright hes lucky he isent blind.

Hi John!
Out here in AZ, we keep the plate! When we sell a car, it has to be notorized, kinda intresting I think.
One thing I do like, is only one plate required!
No holes on the front of my 20th TTA!!!

Later,

George

Interesting, Has it always been this way? I was told different about 15 years ago...

Fast RS,
What state do you live in?

Hi again John!
Been here almost a year so far.
That is what Arizona DMV told me.
I sell a car, it has to be notorized, and I keep the plate.
Did you use to live out here?

Hope this helps,

George

California

THe laws may be different from state to state, considering its a State licencing issue and not federal I would suspect that each state would have its own set of laws and "precidents" that ywould take effect. Since you live in CA, your laws may be different.

I have been told that MI actually recomends that when you sell a car that the two parties go to the "Secretary of State" (Michigans version of the DMV) together and have it transferred at the time of sale so such things do not happen.

John

Ya thats true for MI also here in CA AAA allways offers to have both people come in and transfer it that way.
Dont know about the DMV tho there really a joke here.

i dont pay anything at my local junyards..but...uhm......shhh.hahahaha

gotta love pick-a pocket.

Hey, emblems should be free... same as fuses, screws, speakers, radios, gauges, etc... if they fit in a tool box

Stealing is bad kids, don't do it.

wHERE I GO THEY SEARCH YOUR TOOL BOX on the way in and on the way out.

I figure i have to pay 2 bucks to get in so i should at least take 2 dollars worth of parts even if they dont have what i want.

LOL. I do that too.. I wear cargo pants I get small screws and bolts im missing. Yards are the best to get loads of fuses and bulbs.

dang you guys have nice junkyards. over here in washington he have a couple of nice ones but all the camaros and firebirds are striped the day they get in

sorry about that pic i was testing somthing.

Werd

I think the customers are just as bad, if not worse, than the employees. I once watched a guy trash an entire dashboard, inst. cluster, lower panel, and steering wheel just to get to a temperature gauge. Idiots.

yah,
they are pretty bad when some ppl get in the car and ripe every thing in its path. Leaves nothing for the neXt guy

I hate it when they pile cars on top of eachother, and then leave about 4" between them so you can't open the doors... that's just dumb!

got this at the junkyard yesterday, 20 bucks for everything....
i didnt think there were any decent thirdgens at any local junkyards, but i guess i was wrong! just gotta find some tail lights and some other misc. stuff...
and as for taking stuff, the way i see it, theyre not gonna miss the little stuff........
lol

Man reading this thread makes me want to go junkyard hopping. Last time i went to the pick & pull they had at least 30 3rd gens there mostly complete. But back then i didnt know what was good or bad on parts to snag i had only had my car for a month or two. I need to get back out there and find some stuff. Damn ebayers will pay top dollar for everything.

lol.. yeah i gotta go once it stops raining.......(Washington)

mY PAGE OF TEXT JUST VANISHED INTO THE eTHERNET...THANKS, mr. PC! aaughhh
tHE CAPS LoCK AND SCROLL BUTTON ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT, MY 56K DIALUP DESERVES A GOOD BEATING, AS i SEE IT, THE PICTURE HEAVY CONTENT BOGS IT DOWN ON MY END,i GUESS
anyway...

I'm waiting for the text to show up...and waiting...
I needed to add, as an eBay guy, use the proxy bidding and worry more about your price then the next guy... You can't control their money
I find the deals are there, but don't forget to tack on an idea of shipping, if unknown. An engine or trans could cost $200 or so.
BILL-=


IIRC; a car I was bidding on cost $1400 or so to ship from CA to MN. I've found better deals vs the local yards on big items.

Found this today. I have been looking for one for a long time but I never get to the cars before there gone.

Ok, I give up. WTF is that??

Its the part that makes the power buldge hood actually get cold air. It has a small switch that runs off vacuum and triggers the door to open under certain throttle conditions.

You can see it attached to the hood here.

if its only two dollars whats the big deal still shouldnt steal. thats why yards by be dont let you go in the back

sometimes I go to the yard and theres a 2 $ entrance fee and if I dont find what im lookin for Im gonna at least fill up my pocket with screws,switches,fuses,emblrems and get my 2$ worth.
