Got my title from seller and the first number is a 7. I’ve looked and there is no # 7 assembly plant. Could this be an miss typed at mva ?? Confused

What numbers are on your V.I.N. plate?
Was it titled to your Engine?

Can the "7" be a 2 ?

The title for My Cadillac starts with an "S" instead of the "5" that it's supposed to be. DMV people mistype titles all the time.

Does your new title match the tag on the truck? What's the first number on your tag?

What info did you send to the DMV for them to process your new title...was the info you sent in wrong or did they type it wrong?

7 is on the title. There is no serial # plate. I believe that it was a mistake by previous dmv people. So I will just go head and try to register it in my name and see if my dmv excepts it.

Is your truck missing the V.I.N. plate?
Do you know where it should be mounted?

I would recommend doing this and just not say anything about it. Telling them that you think there was a mistake will just invite further scrutiny that you likely don't want.

I agree with Fibonachi. When I went to register my Cadillac after purchase and asked about correcting the mistake on the title, the lady at the DDS counter warned me against doing it. It's a can of worms you generally don't want to open

flattop49,

Just a note that whatever municipality issued the title you received from the seller technically had to use something on the truck to legally identify the truck. The missing ID plate could become an issue during your re-title process.

Regardless of any other folks experiences given, the only entity you must rely on for titling your truck is your own state DMV.

Your state laws and regulations are the only ones that directly apply, and that you must follow to satisfy the titling requirement. You should also be able to go online and read up on your DMV's requirements and rules that apply to title transfers and correcting title errors if such exist.

Good luck and let us know how your title situation gets worked out. thumbs_up
