VIN confusion with insurance

[Keith_J]

My agent called me as they could not find any record of the VIN on my M1031. I had to explain it had never been titled so it was like getting insurance on a new car, despite its 26 years of age.

Anyone else have insurance woes before registration and titling?

I am with USAA and they new what is was by the VIN even that it was a M1009. Now the BMV was a different story.

The 5th digit being a "D" could be throwing there computer off .

BMV should be easy. The clerk needs to hard code in info and than have the mgr. override same.

It just takes the right clerk with a little imagination. We just registered and plated our two M109A4.. They had trouble what to call it since it did not have a std bed on it.

Any help drive accross state to Greenfield BMV and see Scott.

I recently titled a Deuce. At the DMV she asked what it was, looking at the word Kaiser. I said it's an old jeep. She then asked if it was a pickup truck. Yep.

Walking out the door, I opened the envelope for the registration:

1970 KIA.

And I'm **** sure my 1028 has never delivered a piece of mail, but I find with the DMV, the less you say, the better.

Thats all well and good. until for some reason in the future, you get pulled over, and the Cop/deputy/trooper or constable does a check, and then starts harressing you as the registration doesnt match the MV... Same thing happen to me a few moons ago... and it wasnt pretty.... almost went to the pokey

I'm an attorney, the vins match perfectly. I don't think I'd have a problem. Plus, the thing is so slow, I couldn't see a reason why I could ever get pulled over.

How many clients have you defended that never thought they would get caught?
Even as a retired LEO, I have been pulled over and pulled cars over because they vaguely match the descipition of a vec. involved in a crime.

Recommend that anyone involved with the BMV ask to speak in person to a supervisor. It is their responsibility to find a way to register and plate a street legal vec.

 

[MakersTeleMark]

How many vehicles have you ever seen used in a crime that vaguely resemble a deuce and a half?

It was a funny scrivner's error on the registration. I am 100% positive that nothing other than a few laughs will ever be the result.

Well in this country or oversea?

Actually with the mentality of some LEO, the call coiuld go our for a large dually truck and they pull you over.

I would just go have a brass plate made with the number from th ereg on it. LEO won't know the difference.

But a man has to do it his way and I'm all for it.

I wouldn't count to heavy on that theroy , there are ALOT of LEO'S that are in the hobby and know the VIN's to a tee.

The VIN did not come up for State Farm so they manually entered it after I e-mailed them a photo of the "US Government Property" Vin plate.
