There is less harm to be done by giving him the VIN the bar come off then there is with the constant quoting of rego numbers that goes on with the spotted threads on here.
That stuff can cause major dramas in many ways. Its also no worse then the data bases that are kept of peoples vehicle details. I went through it with a mate of mine doing a WOVR reversal. They jsut took the number of my car he got parts from had it as paperwork. We are also both in the same state dealing with the same rego authority. I have had no issues at all with my car rego and it was over 6 months ago we did it. |

It would seem this person is trying to re-register a repairable write off maybe he has not got the money to buy a new GT335 and looks to ebay to rebuild a car so his family have transport?................ yes, was probably going to drive to the orphanage in it where he volunteers, reading to the deaf The OP was not comfortable doing so, so he shouldn't I would probably be ok with it, you too by the sound of it, but he isn't so shouldn't |

It is funny. The vin is open to the public in vic. If you get a rego plate go to vic roads website, go to a certain section. You can see colour make year engine size if it is stolen finance oweing engine and vin number.

to register or transfer a car into your name in SA, all you needed was a rego number, engine number and the cash to do it. and those details were on the sticker on the windscreen.....

If i sold him a bunch of parts or a car shell/metal parts.
The fact is i sold him a $400 bumper dirt cheap, how far do i get involved with that? Anyway he got back to me and he understands, i will help him out with a normal reciept but dont want my car involved in any rebirthing of cars. |

And what would the case have been if he bought it from the wreckers?? They may not have had the VIN of the car it came from - could have been crushed already after being stripped of parts!

Having been through the process I know that this is the ruling in WA
http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/media...ffVehicles.pdf Have your paperwork in order. During the repair process you are required to obtain all receipts for parts purchased and used on the vehicle, receipts for the repair of the vehicle and photographs taken throughout the repair process. Should a complete vehicle be purchased to repair another vehicle, all parts and components used need to be identified on the receipt. The receipts must adhere to the Australian Tax Office requirements for GST and must include the: • Name, address and ABN, ACN of the business that sold the parts. • Date of purchase. • Purchase price. • GST. • Full description of parts and components. • Second-hand-parts require the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the donor vehicle, seller name and driver licence number. If the vehicle has had a repair or replacement to the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbag system, a report from an accredited agent/dealer that the system is complete and operational must be obtained. These items are required to be presented to an AP for the inspection phase. Should any of the above not be presented the inspection cannot proceed. |

when i worked at the wreckers, with the written off cars,
motor reg in sa has all the details of the damage to that related vin. so say a crash shop rings up for a panel to repair a car (repairable write off), they need a r/h front guard. i would go into our yard and find a good r/h front guard off a car, and write down the vin of the car it came from, that would get printed onto the receipt to the crash shop. the crash shop then fixes the car, and takes it down for inspection. they need to supply the vin of the cars that the parts came from. if the related vin came from a car with r/h front damage they would reject that panel/repair. the crash shop would have to pay again for an inspection and we would have to supply another panel/vin.

You're making life difficult for the purchaser for no good reason. You took his money so give him the VIN #. As many have said it's on the registration sticker for all to see. What do you possibly think he's going to do with it.
My opinion. GT450 |

I don't know about you but the VIN number of my car is exposed on the windscreen for all to see. I've never seen this before on any other car I've owned, but I guess the Koreans do things a bit differently.

Too late now, but for some here that like to give an opinion, any parts supplied new only require the dealership invoice when doing a viv in Victoria, all second hand parts must have the original cars Vin on the invoice so the inspector can check they have not come off a written off vehicle, wreckers will give the Vin if required as they need to keep this

Dont know what the big fuss is about.
I can get your VIN with just your rego number - it really isnt that hard. |

"Copies of the receipts will be retained by the VIV inspector. Receipts for substantial body parts (e.g. chassis rails, front or rear sections) must contain the VIN of the vehicle from which the parts were obtained. A VIV inspector may refuse to accept as evidence of repairs, a receipt provided by a licensed second-hand dealer that fails to reference the vehicle from which the parts were derived." Which is talking chassis parts, front apron etc etc which are structural parts only, not bumpers bonnets/ bootlids etc etc. |

Catch 22
The dept of transport is trying to stamp out re-birthing...To do this, people repairing write offs need to jump through hoops to prove they have bought things legitmately (justifyably too)...A normal receipt, or even a print out of a sales docket from the internet isn't suitable, as it's too easy to forge. So they require other info.... Now on the opposite side of the fence, people don't want to give these details for fear of re-birthing. So the poor honest person wanting to do the right thing is stuck betwen a rock and a hard place, when it comes to proving the parts are legitmate. Who knows which way to turn.

Just as a short answer to the question ....
No, there is no harm at all Tis a bit of a silly rule in a way but understand the reasoning behind it to a degree ........ but those buying items for this purpose should know the rules and buy accordingly. PS: On hiding your number plates from public view ...... ![]()

VIN's are harmless and handy when you type it in the right places on the Interweb.
Here's mine, for a small fee you can borrow it ![]() ![]()

I also fail to see how he is rebirthing a vehicle - perhaps you should look the term up. BTW since your apparently soooooooooooo careful about posting the ID of your vehicle........

I'd just give him the number mate. As people have said, there is no harm in it.
I'm currently rebuilding my crash damaged car and would be a bit cross if I spent $400 on a part I couldn't use. Try to empathise with your customer, you might find yourself in his shoes one day... EDIT: either that or provide him with a refund, sell the bar onto somebody else and let him spend that $400 on a bar from somebody who is willing to provide the VIN.
