Probably lost paperwork or the owner died and it’s impossible to get a new title. Happens a lot in Japan, Japan needs to get their head out of their butt and fix the DMV title transferring regulations.
I have tried to buy cars from a junkyard that still ran, but if it’s turned in for scrap there’s nothing you can do to get a title. I couldn’t even buy a bicycle from my friend’s junkyard because of the registration attached to bicycles. It’s a shit system that will never get fixed.

Poor things. I remember seeing an FD3 on top of a pile of similarly rotten cars on the road to Cambridge. I honestly did feel sad about it. Great car like that (and that MR2 and Integra) sold with so much joy and happiness to end up like that. Such a shame.

what scares me about importing a car from an online auction is that the car could be one of those radioactive cars from fukushima.
