That's amazing lol

Yeah sadly in NJ you have to go in person, and 48hrs would still barely be enough time before I leave Thursday

Simply tell the cops that and move on with your life. Don't worry about losing a potential profit because surely that would be some sort of fraud, wouldn't it.

Tell yourself that because it got impounded, the current "owner" probably beat the crap out, did some stupid stuff and didn't maintain it. You'd probably be right.
You're probably right about it being beaten down. I'm fairly sure it's not fraud though, the one committing fraud is the one illegally driving a vehicle for 10 years.
