Option 4 is probably what is going to happen here, I'm over the headache. Luckily there is a small crack in the windshield already so I'm going to try and use insurance for the window replacement. $100 sticker and $100 deductible and ill never deal with this again..... otherwise its going to...

Great news the car isn't stolen or Hinky...bad news are all my options suck haha. Ya this was specifically a VIN officer so this is all he does. He said he would reach out to one of their top experts in LA to see if they had any contacts for me too so that was nice.

Ah yes, got to update you all. So I actually had a my CHP appointment yesterday. The officer was very understanding. His very first question was if the window had ever been replaced. Which obviously the answer was yes, it was during a recall. He stated he's seen this happen a few times where a...

Ha worth a try here. Cmon @Ford Motor Company send your VIN experts my way! I agree. I don't think its in the system. He literally filled this form out and handed it to me. There wasn't any other form of recording it. I may try a different DMV while I wait for a response from Ford after...

I agree. That is my main concern at this moment. Otherwise when I sell, Ill just have to include a printed copy of this thread :ROFLMAO:

Limited Edition, be jealous!

Thank god I live only an hour from the border! It was nice knowin' you fellas. Looks like its time to begin my new life. Thank god the Bronco has a Baja mode.

I kind of find it comical at this point. Maybe a ford employee will stumble upon this and realize... oh Sh#@% that's the truck I forgot to attach the VIN to.

At this point I do. I've now looked at dozens of VINs on new broncos and had some sent to me up close without the windshield on and it looks 99% like the VIN number is printed directly on that FoMoCo security background. Autotrader is aware but a lawyer for who and what? I mean I can try but I...

Awesome, I live 30min from them so I think ill take a ride over there and talk with them. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm curious, How did they wrap this around the bolt covers on the underside? Do you have any photos? Also is this the Rogelios in Baldwin Park? Only asking because I see your location is the Bay. Thanks!

Ya I was very tempted, seeing as the original VIN tag is a joke anyway. I still cannot believe it is a sticker and not a permanent attachment or engraving. Knowing my luck though (as evidenced here), some ultra hardcore CHP officer will pull me over one day, look at it, and determine its not...

I don’t really have a choice my man. This is standard practice in California. Any vehicle that comes from out of state and is to be registered in the state of California must be VIN inspected by the DMV or the California highway patrol. If there are VIN discrepancies, then the vehicle is...

Ha! I figure people are now invested. I feel like I need to just remove the windshield to see if the VIN sticker (if it even exists as a sticker) is under there like some type of big "move that bus" reveal. Everyone that reads this just donate 50cents to the cause. kidding of course... maybe

I’ve been considering this. But without the title or registration yet, they may not even touch the car when its involving the VIN Thank you for posting this. I cant see the transparent overlay, to me it looks like it is printed directly on the FoMoCo sticker. If that is the case, I have that...

He said it came up with 3 visits to Palmetto Ford. My FordPass app shows the vehicle was taken to the dealer those times with dates and one says under services performed: “glass”. If the PO is lying he’s sure gone through a ton of hoops to get his story looking straight.

Hey Josh, Thanks, I honestly figured that as well. I drove up to the DMV for the VIN check and only waited 10min but the inspector did seem like he was either new at it or didn't really care (probably both). He wasn't even going to tell me anything, he just handed me the completed form and left...

The Previous Owner states it was done just over a year ago. Somebody on this thread actually ran an OASIS for me. “Looked at OASIS and the only warranty history is 3 recalls at Palmetto Ford. Does not show that the vehicle has branded title or was a buyback and no current or historical GCCT...

so after getting in touch with the Previous Owner, who wasn’t acting shady and was pretty transparent with me, the Vin number was there when he bought the car but last year he took the car to his dealership to have the front windshield sealant repaired as per a recall Ford issued. He’s never...

I'm confused as well. It looks like a sticker from what I can tell in others photos but I agree, I'm not sure why for such an important number its not stamped, riveted or etched into the actual vehicle like all my past cars.
