If this car is in Texas now, I suspect the car was brought to Texas with a salvage title from California to be washed of that salvage title. It appears that the car was not registered for a couple of years between 09 and 12. I wonder if this car was in a serious collision and was salvaged by an insurance company and someone bought it salvaged from the insurance company and cheaply put I back together and sold it to the unsuspecting parties with some serious defects. A lot of that hax been going on in California for many years and most of the cars usually end up in Texas to wash the salvage title because Texas does not have a salvage title. They were suppose to stop that not if Texas has done that yet.
Buyer Beware.
