As a foreigner here... Even if you expected it to be stolen, doing the deal at the MVD is the due diligence you'd take to put that to bed no?

I've certainly never checked if my vehicles were vin swapped. See the title, have the DMV (registry in Canada) check its legit, check/clear the lien... I'm on my way.

You should have added that OP's original story has morphed and wilted during 24 pages of cross examination by the B6G prosecution.
- Thread title is "Help: ...." Later OP stated this post is just a cautionary tale for other folks out there.
- OP has stated several times he is a Ford guy through and through. Except the only other vehicle he references is a clapped out Taco.
- OP initially stated he bought the Braptor and quickly figured out it wouldn't work for his multimillion dollar parts business run out of this Taco so he chose to trade it in on a new Raptor F-150. Later he admitted he purchased it to flip it.
- OP said the mileage and sellers story added up in his mind but the posted/forged documents pretty much prove that the Braptor was never in Alaska.
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Yeah, nothing quite adds up unless he has a “cash” business on the side

This. Page after page of conflicting/changing details by the OP who has yet to contact the FBI or the 6g member who volunteered to help. I would use the term victim very loosely here.

I'm going to take the OP's side for a minute here. He did the transaction in person at the MVD (DMV for out of state folks). MVD titled it. MVD also failed to notice the VIN had been tampered with. Obviously the MVD folks are not forensic experts...

But, that's what I would do on a deal that felt even a little bit sketchy, meet at the actual MVD for the paperwork. If the State Government says it's legit...

The actual lesson here is "don't buy a vehicle on an out of state title" unless it's from a friend or family.

Nothing wrong with buying a vehicle on an out of state title. I know I’ll be looking at things way more closely if I ever purchase a car privately. This story definitely opened my eyes, to be bold enough to go into the DMV tells me these are professional scammers.

Brand new 2023, 6500 miles and you already lost a key? That was the key part, one key.

One key to me isnt a redflag but guess it could be. I only got one. Keys get lost didn't really think twice about it. Girls especially lose their stuff id say or atleast my girlfriend does. Ive had one key on some cars 2 on others.

 

[BroncoKing610]

I suppose, but you gotta be a real dummy to lose a key within a few weeks of ownership
