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!

Not to be too antagonistic, but my first question would be why does the new owner need a title (at this second)? My 81 Audi has been legally on the road for decades without one in my name. I still have the one from the fellow I bought it from and I hope all the digits are correct! Pretty much same for each of the other old cars I own. I may only have one title in my name and all are legally registered and insured. In both Maine and NH cars this old transfer with a bill of sale and titles can be applied for if warranted in the new owners name with just that piece of paper.
