AFAIK lack of the dash VIN is a federal no-no and can also be indicative of a stolen vehicle.

Be very careful.

Default stolen vin

http://www.auto-theft.info/vin-theft.htm

check out this website. I seen this on TV and it is a growing trend across the country. They say it works so well for thiefs because states do not share registration information with each other so its easy to have 2 registered vehicles with the same VIN in different states. If it don't have a VIN, I'd avoid that car like the plague

I know your not in the US but here there is no way I'd ever touch that vehicle. Even if I lived over there I probably wouldn't. Can't you get something better than a Dodge Ram anyway? I mean it's not like it's some super great best truck ever anyway and that's the only one. I'd look for another one if you can if there aren't many more there I'd look for something else.

1-would YOU have bought that HARLEY with a suspecious VIN#
2- the car dealer is not the owner- their name is NOT on a local tittle
3- ALREADY a serious accident on record- could be a tottaled vehicle.

thats 3 strikes as we say

the sticker is a texas inspection sticker. You could call texas dps and find out if that vehicle has that vin. It also tells you that vehicle was in texas in feb of 2009.
