<VV> question on ebay listing

[henry kaczmarek]

Could be several reasons.
1. He "re-vin'ed it".

For those of you not aware of the practice---and all but the newest are--the 
VIN plate could have been removed from the vehicle and replaced with a VIN 
Plate the owner had a good title for, but there is a "hidden VIN" that can 
be found if you know where to look, and most of those here KNOW where to 
look.  If the numbers don't match, there's a problem.

2. Perhaps it's been wrecked and there's a CARFAX report on the car he 
doesn't want you to find out about.

3. The vehicle was re-VIN'ed because it was stolen.   Re-VINs are sometimes 
done to save a car for which a legal title cannot be obtained.  That's 
illegal, but even this ex-deputy would turn his head if it kept the car on 
the road.




 If it's STOLEN, that's a horse of another size and color.

This has been debated here before, and most don't agree with the head turn, 
but to each their own. I have mentioned that the only reason to re-vin an 
car and keep it is for your own pleasure, and you'd have to keep it in the 
family.  You don't do it to sell a car.

IMO There's nothing worse than a man stealing another man's machine, be it a 
car or a motorcycle.  That's just cold beyond grasp.
