I took my 914 into the California DMV to get a VIN verification on it, since it did have a title and is out of the DMV system. They refused to inspect it, saying it must be a 'complete car'. Now it didn't have an engine, trans, doors or hoods or seats or a dash, but the VIN isn't on any of those parts, and the reg 31 form has a checkbox for 'missing' on the engine and odometer.
This really had me angry. I know there are 3rd party licensed VIN verification people, will they give me the same dismissal? Join AAA and have them to do it? Any other ideas? Get Nevada title first and then xfter to CA? |

Good news! the seller found the title for my car, so no inspections needed, and now this race car can be street legal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I did want to add there is another option to get the title on a car that has a missing/lost title via a lien sale. If you know a cooperative mechanic, tow yard, etc, they can do a lien sale to sell it, and with the lien sale paperwork you can get a new title in your name. Any back registration or penalties due is still due, this paperwork costs $70, and potentially someone else could buy the car at the lien sale if they 'outbid' you...
