Vermont Loophole Closed

Figured I'd post this here since it popped up in my feed today.

Quote:
As first reported by The Autopian, the Vermont DMV closed this loophole on July 1st. Now if someone out-of-state wants to register a car in Vermont, they'll have to go to a DMV in their state and have an official fill out a form certifying that the state in question doesn't require a car to be registered there. Additionally, the Vermont DMV now says that it "will not process this/these transaction(s) unless or until the owner of the subject vehicle can establish a legitimate connection to the state of Vermont." In short, the fun's over.

I wonder how stringent the VIN verification was for Vermont. Did you have to apply for a Vermont title to register a car?

Missouri requires inspection by State Police for VIN and odometer verification. I believe it's largely to ferret out stolen engines and chop shop cars. I bought a car from the impound lot that had been owned and properly titled/plated in Missouri and I still had to have the inspection.

I had replaced the control arms, struts, and a couple other front suspension parts, and they wanted receipts! But the engine had the matching VIN and it passed.

Curious as to 'renewals'.

South Dakota is still a viable solution.

I went the Vermont route a couple of times many years ago.
First time was with my 1974 Honda MT125, second was with my 1979 Honda XR500.
In both cases the VIN verification was covered by a Missouri safety inspection coupled with a signature by a local LEO stating that they'd run the VIN through their system and it hadn't been reported as stolen.

Renewal was a simple online process.


All obsolete information at this point unfortunately, it was a great option for myself and a number of buddies who were rebuilding barn-find bikes at the time.


Will have to look into the South Dakota option
