Hi all, I'm having a good go-round with my local DMV. The "vin" listed on my title does not match the car number on my ID plate. My titled vin is
U535XXX. The clerk said it could be a CVN. Confidential VIN Number and that it should be stamped on the left front fender under the hood. I scraped, scoured and scrubbed and couldn't find anything. Anybody got any ideas? My only other option is to get a bonded title which is an even more agonizing process :doh:

I ran into the same issue with my Ebay Patrol out of Texas... the VIN on the title did not match any number on the vehicle.

I chose the bonded title route - took me 20 minutes to type and send a letter I knew no one would ever read, and $125 for the Surety bond.

Yeah I'm thinking that's how I'm gonna have to go. I guess I only have myself to blame. I should have checked the title as I was buying it and put it on the seller. Oh well! Nobody said owning a Patrol was easy :lol:
