If it was a stick, I might take a chance. But with 160K, maybe they threw away the key because the timing belt broke.
Yes, that's a common tactic. Engine doesn't run, send it to the auction without the key.

Its a repo. All Titlemax repos go to auction. Yes, possible vehicle didn't run and they let it get repoed. But this was a title loan, so they most likely drove the car to the lender to get the loan.Yes, that's a common tactic. Engine doesn't run, send it to the auction without the key.
I get it's a repo but before they go to auction the banks generally have a third party try and maximize value and getting a key made that proves the car runs is generally one of the steps.Its a repo.

Not Titlemax...... They don't touch the vehicle, they more often than not don't even take a fast food bag out of the vehicle. Goes from tow truck driver to Auction house. The only thing Titlemax does is provide a title to the auction house, that is it.I get it's a repo but before they go to auction the banks generally have a third party try and maximize value and getting a key made that proves the car runs is generally one of the steps.
After reading that story, I'm so glad my car uses a regular old fashioned metal key.I've had far too much Volvo experience to recommend this purchase.
That key issue alone can be a costly experience.
At best, that car would make a decent parts donor.
I was wrong, I was guessing this is how you started your car:After reading that story, I'm so glad my car uses a regular old fashioned metal key.
I'm so glad my key fob will remote start the car and the car will then heat or cool as needed. If you don't have you don't know what you miss. It will also open the hatch or in case of my truck the tailgate.After reading that story, I'm so glad my car uses a regular old fashioned metal key.
