So going to the dmv to get my new e30 registered and inspected and I give the lady the title looks at the car and say because the vin tag on the dash isn't in its original position with original hardware they aren't allowed to register my car. So now I'm left with a car I can't register. Going to try and get something from Iowa that says its legit since that's where I got the car from. I HATE NEBRASKA. End rant

Makes sense to me.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Yea but if every other vin matches why would it matter

[matthugie]

South Carolina has something similar. There is a "specialist" that you have to pay to see that will verify the car's VIN, which is a complete pain in the ass.

[Thizzelle]

why is it not in the original position? how would she know?

[mrsleeve]

Wait a sec here, they actually went outside to LOOK at the car??? Normally all they do is look at the paper work you brought in to the DMV, miss enter some critical information like Manufacturer, Year, or body style, or even model, and then you have to go back and fight with them tooth an nail to get another CORRECT title and pay for it all over again.....

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Yea it was weird I had to drive in this garage and I believe at some point this dash was replaced and instead of riveting the vin back on the glued it

Did you show her the vin stamped permanently into the car body?

[whodwho]

+1 ^

I think the one on the dash is for convienence, the one stamped into the body should be the one they go by as the one on the dash could be replaced with a different one.

Did you show her the vin stamped permanently into the car body?

Yea that was the first thing I tried to do cause I'm rocking a dash mat and it covered the vin tag up. After she told me that line of crap I was like every vin on this car matches but your gonna be a pain in the ass cause one thing isn't how it should be.

[ST1G]

What a bitch. That blows man. Is there another country or DMV you can register it in?

Move to Idaho.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Nope it's a state wide deal. But I may have a out my moms side of the family are cops
And they can do vehicle inspections back in the where I'm from. Just gotta keep mouths shut lol.

She's probably just trying to not get fired from her nice government job by doing it as she is supposed to. I know its an old car but any time you touch a VIN tag it can bite you in the ass.

[graveshaker]

Dang that is crazy how every state is so different from the next.

WTF are you talking about. They don't do that here. Nobody looks at the car from the DMV.
