I have a lead on a car that I want only for the parts. It is a stripped down 911, but it does have a nice motor. I can get the car pretty cheap, but the only problem is that they say it has a mechanic's lein on the title. So what does that mean? In other words, what can I do with a car that has a mechanic's lien on it? Can I part it out?

It's a lot easier to get a mechanic's lein on a car than a title. Remember the whole flap about (dare I say it?) "number four"? That car had two conflicting leins on it, and the posessor of one went after the posessor of the other for auto theft...
I'm not saying to not get it, and I'm not saying that sort of thing is common--but a lein is not a title, and there is some possibility for crappy stuff to happen!! --DD |
