Bad news, buddy. The DMV reported your car as a total loss vehicle. It's indicated to have a 'Junk Title' (A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.).

Here's the relevant part of the history:

08/20/1998 65,098 New Jersey
Motor Vehicle Dept.
Willingboro, NJ
Title issued or updated


05/02/2005 131,876 Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Dept.
Hatboro, PA
New owner reported
JUNK TITLE/CERTIFICATE ISSUED


05/31/2005 Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Dept.
JUNK TITLE/CERTIFICATE ISSUED


I guess the good news is that you don't have a flood damage title. Let me know how the car turns out.

How did you even think of purchasing the car without the title?
Before the purchase you should always recieve the title or not to bother with the purchase. You ask for a car fax report after the facts???
Hey man put it like this. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get......... Unless you were smart in the first place and took a look at the title.....
Hope it works out for you, this is all just a waste of band width....LOL
