Re: TRACKING PREVIOUS OWNERS
Sure - PA titles all have a 13 charactor title number on them. The first 9 charactors are numbers that are specific to that car. These 9 digits remain the same on every succeeding title that is issued for that vehicle. Digits # 11 & 12 represent the title sequence number - they tell you how many total PA titles have been issued for that vehicle. the final two charactors are letters that represent the first two letters of the title holder's last name. It's important to remember that the sequence number does not necessarily represent the number of owners of a vehicle. Sequence numbers are advanced every time a title is re-issued due to a change. For example - placing a lien on a car due to financing results in a title change; name changes (due to marriage) results in a title change; etc. One car that I researched had 21 title sequences, but only 11 owners.
