When I purchased the car I didn't notice that the vin on the title only had 11 digits instead of 13. The vin on both the car and title were in order except for the 2 missing digits. During a prior transfer the vin on the title was miss keyed. When I went to transfer the car into my name I had to have the State Police do a VIN verification on the car and title to make sure it was clean before they fixed the vin on the title. However, when everything came back clean they still changed the title status to Salvage.
