Re: Reconstructed Vehicle VIN swap
[ QUOTE ]
I found out a few days ago that in SC you are "allowed" to move a VIN from one car to another if you legally own them both.  [/ QUOTE ] You have got to be kidding me, I sure hope they make you disclose it on the title

Re: Reconstructed Vehicle VIN swap
I'm not a lawyer (but I play one on TV), so Lynn, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe there are two laws in play here. The first, from South Carolina that states it's okay to change VIN's if you leagally own both cars, and the second, from a Federal standpoint that states you CAN'T change VIN's no matter what. In this case the Federal ruling would take precedance over the State law and make it illegal to change VIN's.
It's like the Pot laws. Some states have made it legal to posess MJ, but since it's still a Federal offense, it's against the law and you can still be arrested. Comments? Ed

Re: Reconstructed Vehicle VIN swap
Is there a Federal Law that has to do with VIN's?
It seems to me that it would not be a power granted to the Federal Govt by the Constitution, but then again most laws enacted by Congress have no Constitutional Basis...

Re: Reconstructed Vehicle VIN swap
I may be out of line here but I just sent the high bidder an email with a link to this discussion.
