What are you getting out of helping her? She seems to be someone that takes but never gives back. Not exactly the kind of person I would want in my life. This is not a friend, this is someone that is using your home when she can and leaving her junk on your property. The car would be history if it was sitting in my driveway. Around here places will pay you for the scrap. I sold a car once to a scrap place and got $150 for it. It was a car that I owned though.

Dude, you're at risk for more than car storage if you let her keep her stuff there and come over any time to sleep. If you think you're having trouble getting her car removed, wait until she claims to be a resident and you have to get her removed. Are you one of those persons that "accept her briefly" now and then? Are you sleeping with her, too?

If it comes down to a legal issue, it isn't what you know but what you can prove. Forget about "telling" her anything. You've done that. You need to notify her properly in writing with specific demands and deadlines.

I'm thinking it's a three letter word that starts with an S and ends with an X. Even if not, that's what everyone is going to believe (as in cops, judges, and juries) if she decides to claim that.

How do you know it's a cracked head and not just head gasket?

To me, in the picture you posted it's a Lexus and looks too good to scrap to me.

actually we dont know which .. it`s just getting water in a cylinder and steaming out the exhaust .. it`s a 98 lexus .. was a beautiful car when she got it .. then she showed it to some old friends who proceeded to kick dents all over the body .. then left the sunroof open in a thunderstorm and molded the leather interior which she cut out with a razor knife ..she does not know where the back seat is .. she had a friend attempt to put a stereo in and he butchered up the wiring so that even the brake lights wont work anymore ..all the interior trim is missing or broken as she tried to remove it and paint it all pink .. the water pump has leaked for about 6 months and is why it leaked all the coolant out when she loaned it to her mother who did not know to add water every 50 miles ... her mother also broke one of the bling bling shiny chrome wheels as you can see a different one on the rear .. all the center caps went missing withing the first week she got it .. you can see the monstrous dent above and just behind the front wheel .. you cant see the same looking dent on the other side .. you cant see all the key scratches cause i did my best to touch them up .. the sun roof still does not fit and is leaking as it is pouring rain at this very moment ...

Well, I guess you can't fix stupid. Probably was a decent car when she bought it.

Gal needs different friends, and to isolate from her toxic family.

Did you even read my post? It said why. To ask for advice, ie. what the OP can do about the issue. I didn't say to get the police involved.

I actually had to do this once. I bought a house from an estate. The nephew of one of the owners had parked a car in the back entrance to the house and left it there. I was assured at the sale closing that it would be moved that week. Of course it didn't happen. I didn't even know the name of the owner, or contact info for the executor who sold the house to me. The license plate had been removed from the car, which is what led me to believe the owner had no intent to have the car moved. I started with their Realtor. She told me to call the police. I did and when I said the car had no license plate, they agreed to tow the car and take it to the county impound lot. Didn't cost me a dime. I never heard another word about it.
