Trans is SOLD!!!!


Thanks Shane!!1

 

Shady....

Might have an interest...but why remove the VIN? It'll render the trans useless. Unless you have a way to remove the whole thing all together (which still is not legal) I would not touch it.

Will you post pictures on H-T?

 

You could consider it shady but something about having my vin out there floating around erks me. If youre interested in the trans PM me and we can discuss things further. Ill post up picuters of everything tonight when i get home from work. Didnt realize removal from parys were illegal
Post has been edited to reflect that.

 

LOL @ this being shady. This trans is from my old Si. I also sold the OP the LSD trans to replace the original one. There's nothing shady here. The trans is in great shape. It's NOT stolen. There's no funny bidness.

I remove VIN tags from my own engine/trans parts that I sell. It doesnt render the trans useless. You simply drill out the rivets holding the # on. JDM transes and dealer replacement trans assemblies dont have VIN tags. I have a JDM ITR trans and a new replacement ITR trans that have VIN holes but no tag. Cops dont pop hoods and check numbers almost anywhere except CA. Even if they did, you could show them a printed bill of sale.

I wouldn't want my VIN floating around for a lot of reasons. One of them being that most of my VINs come from cars that are theft targets.

Bump for a good guy and a mint trans!

 

Bump good price! I don't sell my **** with vin tag's either.

 

I will be in contact. From what I know, altering/removing a VIN is illegal.

Explain how removing a VIN keeps your vehicle safe? If someone wants your car, they'll find a way to jack it.

What good will "a printed bill of sale" do if it cannot identify the actual transmission/engine that I purchased?

Wouldn't it be better for both parties to state--

I am AOBrien, seller of transmission : 1GHEJxxxxxxxxx. From here on mRek9R, buyer, will become the new owner of : 1GHEJxxxxxxxx for the amount of : $450.00.

--in the actual bill of sale?

Also I'd love to see a photo of the area where a VIN was removed. Is there evidence of removal?

Yes, JDM and Dealer replaced engines/trans will not have VINs, but what's beneficial about purchasing from the dealer is that I will have an official invoice from that dealership about the new trans. That means more power to argue that a new dealer replaced trans will not have a VIN.


Indeed, it's a great price! But when did all this "not selling my **** with vin" on start?

BUMP FOR PICTURES

 

Well, without taking up to much room debating this on a FS thread, VIN #s are connected to a person's address, name, license plate #...and are used to cut keys. It'd be too easy for a thief to buy a $450 trans (or $50 fender or $100 trunk lid...whatever the seller is selling) and then come back later for a much more valuable car. That's why a lot of people don't sell VIN tagged parts. I don't post pics of my VINs either. Call it paranoid, but homie got a lot of nice things and homie don't play dat.

As far as that being illegal, so is....lets say selling a car with a test pipe, or selling some used emissions equipment. Not a big deal. You'll probably never have an issue.

I hope you guys work the deal out in a way that's comfortable for the both of you. I do not sell VIN tagged parts from cars that I own. I've never had issues and neither have my buyers.

As far as a number to put on the bll of sale and other identifiers, I use punch mark stamps and the serial # on the trans label.
