Default Help Faaast Please

We have a vette tied up down in Las Vegas, and I just called the DMV to confirm that everything was going to go smoothly when we came down on monday. We were told that the vehicle had not been registered there, and that the vin was incorrect. When I had someone here run a carfax it ended up showing that it had been, and came back with all the correct information that we had been told!!!! I dont understand what in the world is going on. VIN# is 1G1YY32G135125404. It all looks normal to me, tell me please if it IS wrong!

Perhaps the DMV typed in the wrong VIN??? Hope it all goes well for you. See if forum member Sponge Vette can somehow help.

that happens more often than people would think. And then it's a PIA to get the DMV to correct their own mistake.
