Does any local police station do a vin check?

[Egreen99]

Selling my car to a Indiana resident and they will not process the loan without a vin check. I called east chicago and some other Indiana city and they both said they will not do since Im the seller and not the buyer and I dont live in indiana.

Skokie police will not sign any paper at all. WTF are we to do, no cop want to sign any papers with the vin and odo reading to process the loan.

any ideas or suggestions? are there any cops on here who can sign an piece of paper or know of any cops that can sign it?

Did you try the DMV?

I never thought about trying the BMV. Is there one by you?? Maybe they can check the VIN and Odometer tomorrow morning?? Worth a try. Since the BMV has to do a check on the car when I come to title it here in Indiana anyways.

Awesome man you got the car. Congrats

Its not official yet, were getting the runaround with the fucking bank/police department. Bank says police department has to check the vin and odometer out before they will issue the loan. The police department says that they will not check the vin number or odometer. This is freaking pissing me off!!!!

It will workout for ya man. I can imagine its aggravating but it will be worth it in the end.

Anyone?? Anyone?? Bueller?? Bueller?? Please help guys I really want this car. Susie, if you get this can you call your friend the Merrillville Cop with the Camaro and ask him what we should do?? I dont know if you have his number or not. But worth a shot. Thanks

Would a CARFAX report be acceptable?

 

[TaintedSnake01]

nope they want someone to visually inspect the vin and odometer. we tried asking if we could send pics of the car to them and they said no.

I will call the branch office closest to Chicago and see if one of the employess of the bank can vouch for the miles and vin #, if he says yes I will drive down to East chicago branch in the morning.

The saga continues......

If they wont do it see if the DMV closest to you will. Prolly your best bet. Since they have to do that kind of thing anyway when titleing a car. Thanks dude

I would suggest to the bank that if they are sooooooooooooo concerned about all of these numbers that they do the inspection themselves. You could present the car to them for the inspection.
If they don't want to do it, find another bank. There are thousands of banks willing to loan money.

I have never heard of anything like this before.

If you're this close to selling it, why don't you meet the seller somewhere over here(Indiana) at a police station. You've got the buyer and the seller, and providing that they are either in a good mood, or your a resident of the town....what are they going to say???

I've walked into my town's police station(St. John), the dispatcher takes the VIN and runs it on the "nationwide" whatever computer system, then an officer comes out and checks the VIN tag. They fill out the paperwork for the BMW, then get your drivers license and fill out the form.

I suppose you could "pretend" you were buying it, as they don't ask for a purchase agreement....

when Mike goes to get his plates, he calls the local police,
and they run the VIN # etc. then everything will be squared away :biggthump

both of you take the car to the BMV and they call the cops, or you have to,
but they will run the check, and then its done.

bmv is the way to go i just did my licoln last week they do the check on the vin numbers

 

[Egreen99]

I just drove up to whiting and had the branch manager come out and verify the vin and odometer reading. She wrote a letter to the other branch and signed it. Hopefully that will be enough, she also made a copy of the title. She was also confused why they wanted police to verify it. She said that a copy of the title is good enough. She was really cool and liked the car she had a 1980 mustang back in the day. She said if that other branch gives you more shit call her
