I rented a trailer to pick up a 914 but when I got the pink slip and compared it to the cars VIN it looked like the DMV person had dislexia and reversed the last two digits!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
As far as DMV in conserned this will be considered a different car! The cars Vin is 4702911376 and the pink says 4702911367! I told the guy to try and figure out how to fix the problem and I will come back for the car but the trailer cost me $50 to rent and it will cost another $50 to do it again! Would you purchase the car with the vin mismatched or wait until the seller fixes the title? |

Walk away...Run away....its a title issue. Could be simple, could be stolen....either way it is his problem. He will need to go to DMV with the car to clear up the issue and hopefully get a new title.

But I don't want to loose out on a running 914 for $500! I could cut it up!

With a car with the wrong title you are only buying trouble....Not a car. It wouldn't be worth it to me. |
