Title: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: Charlief on April 07, 2009, 03:01:20 PM I recently bought a cheap ass trailer that was never registered. Owner just used it on his property. Doesn't have title.
Trailer is about 6 years old. Similar to those foldable trailers sold through Harbour Freight. Solid condition and I got it locally. VIN tag on trailer... looks original. Any way... my RMV states that I don't have a "real" VIN because it starts with 5 letters. Any one out there with a similar trailer with a VIN that starts out like mine? I took this pic with my digital camera and brought it into the the registry... I was told... "so what?" I'm going back again on Friday ... have an appointment with a supervisor. here is my VIN tag (http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff27/charlieff/IMG_1489_2.jpg) I'm in the wonderful state of Massachusetts.

My sister lives in Manchester, NH and would do it for me but I'll see what happens on Friday. Title: Re: Trailer VIN?

Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: Popeye the Sailor on April 07, 2009, 04:14:52 PM You could register it down here... Probably, but NH is notoriously lax and lawless, and he can pick up cheap liquor while he's up there. Remember how Australia got started when Britain was shipping off all the undesireables? That's what how Massachusetts started NH. Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: NAKID on April 07, 2009, 04:16:41 PM Hahahahaha. You have to remember, I get my liquor and beer on base where there is no tax and I can buy it on Sunday's too!

Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: NAKID on April 07, 2009, 05:21:04 PM No, here in CT. Base is federal, not state. We don't have to comply with state laws...
Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: Charlief on April 10, 2009, 03:49:51 PM Update...
Tag in hand.... no need to get a title. It's amazing how well things work out when the other person has common sense. The supervisor apologized to me and basically said that the person I was dealing with is an idiot and should have been fired years ago! I laughed and vacated after handing over my check and receiving my plate. Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: herm on April 10, 2009, 03:55:19 PM No, here in CT. Base is federal, not state. We don't have to comply with state laws... yeah, i know. but you were describing new hampshire as well with the no tax + buy on sunday [thumbsup] Title: Re: Trailer VIN?

here is an auction site with one, similar VIN (http://www.auctionflex.com/showlot.ap?co=28395&weventid=7135&weventitemid=2663489&wmaingroupid=0&wcatmastid=0&inventorytype=&minyear=1990&minmonth=1&minday=1&maxyear=2050&maxmonth=12&maxday=31&keyword=&lotsortorder=lotnumasc&pagenum=8&action=&lang=En) Use this VIN decoder and make a printout: http://www.pronto-net.com/vin_app/vin.php (http://www.pronto-net.com/vin_app/vin.php) I used the VIN from the auction link above and it decoded just fine. Title: Re: Trailer VIN? Why is my RMV a stupid head Post by: NAKID on April 10, 2009, 06:30:14 PM Border towns in Mass sell liqour on Sunday and there is no tax. I know, it's funny cause you see that on the news here. Talking to people who cross the border into MA to get beer and liquor on Sunday... Title: Re: Trailer VIN?
