Hi Doyt,

The guy that sold me my CGT didn't tell me it was a salvage title (the rat
fink SOB), I found out when I tried to register the car and had to go thru
extra brake and lamp inspections.  Any damage I could observe was merely to
the front bumper cover and the sheet metal behind.  There was no other
visible body damage and yet once you've got that black mark on the title,
its there forever.  You can't even argue about it.  I'd complain more, but
then I only paid $950 for it and intend to be it's final owner.

Regards,

-Tony
