3 different layers of paint helps protect if from rust  Group: Members Posts: 136 Joined: 29-March 13 From: Bentonville, AR Member No.: 15,709 Region Association: South East States  |
Hi everyone. Long time no post. I'm needing help brainstorming a dilema I'm in. I sold and delivered my 914 to a nice gentleman in NJ. When he went to his DMV to move the title over to his name, they refused because the Arkansas title is missing a digit on the VIN#. Neither myself or my DMV caught it when I bought the car four years ago which means the original vin verification was incorrect to begin with. Long story short, they wont release a corrected Arkansas title to me without local PD giving me a Vin Verification but the PD refuse to do it without the car being present. Shipping the car back here for a 3-minute verification is not an option. Should I offer to fly a local police officer to NJ so he can perform the VIN verification in the airport parking lot then bring it back to me? It's such a mess and nobody seems willing to make an exception. I can tell everyone is "just doing their job" and following their scripts. HELP PLEASE!

We had something similar happen at the shop and one of the MD state police we are friendly with signed off on the paperwork. He knew we were just trying to fix a mistake, not scam anyone. Do you have any friends in the state police?
