My Dashboard Vin Nos Tampered With. by Muddy18: 7:53pm On Dec 11, 2021
Hi house, I just acquired a lexus as Tokunbo, I have done all the documents only for a friend to check the dashboard and discover that the vin is not written here. Do I have to worry about this.

No cause for alarm, just make sure the one visible corresponds with your vehicle documents.

I believe you have nothing to worry provided the Vin on your custom papers tallies with your car Vin which can be located in 2 other places other than the dashboard I.e the vehicle chassis and the driver side panel.

Your friend was just being concerned about you because in this part of the world, policemen throw all decorum to the wind and shamelessly do their possible best just to extort vehicle users. Once you have confirmed the chassis number tallies, you have nothing to fear.

Looking at the picture, if all I have said helps you locate and confirm the Vin number, it just points out that the windshield of this particular vehicle probably was replaced.

Regards

Could be that the vehicle was accidented and the previous dashboard was affected and a change done

Until those illiterate policemen that dots the road stops you. Better go swear an affidavit in court that the vin on the dash was not there when you bought the car, Nigeria policemen will fustrate you.

This is the correct answer, one quick way to find out the correct vin is to plug a scanner into the OBD11 port, the real Vin is stored in the ECU plus real Mileage. So OP to put your mind at rest do it!

Valid, but many people don't have a scanner. Anyways, I have a pocketable Launch creader 3001 2021 version car scanner going for N25,000 promo price, which will end in a few days.

Call or Whatsapp 0 8 0 5 0 8 4 4 0 3 3 to buy asap at the promo price before it goes back to N40,000, its official price.

Check the driver door side, the Vin should be there
