Garth, apparently the "totaled" status does not carry across the border from Canada into the US with the title. They only check to see if it's stolen (and possibly for liens).
At least now the seller is being up front about the car's history which he was not the previous round.
Also, Wayne; Andrew said he thought it was his engine because he had it repainted to look stock and it looks the same. The fact that it only runs on 4 cyl. is a good indicator that the crash impact may have ruined the internals, as if it was an easy fix, it would be stupid not to fix something small after what they've done, right?
