Glad it’s going to work out, Now I’m not a very smart man, but how do you not look at the VIN on the title and hit the “stop, collaborate and listen” button. You own a few cars so naturally you know what it’s supposed to be.

I knew about it when I bought it and had intended to do something right away. Then it went into storage and I forgot about this issue. I don't know that the story would have been any different 7 years ago, but I "thought" it was a done deal after the last visit to the DMV.

Keith, I've already printed out a bunch of info like that and am going back in person. I would hope proving the number on the title in person is NOT an actual vin would help someone use common sense and see that I'm not trying to swap vins, when the rpo codes don't follow the vin sequence used at all. I tried to find a phone number for the person the title was last issued too, but came up with nothing. From a web search of his name, he seems a little shady. The car had no clip and I think he acquired it without a title and just walked up to the cowl and wrote down the codes as the vin, but it's not a bonded title either and should have been when applying for a new title. The tag that they came from is not in the federally mandated location either, which should be a plus on my side. We'll see. I'm going to call and see if I can get an appointment with a higher level director to discuss this with, who can over ride the desk clerks decision.
