Default Re: Car Hunting

Britt, you will need the VIN from the car as Tennessee records will not bring up the license plate number that old. They changed the format of the plate sometime in the 80's and their computers will not recognize the old way of numbering. Go down to your local county clerks office and tell them you want a title search and pay them $35.00, it could be more or less depending on the county, and give them the VIN. Wait about 6 weeks and you should get a reply hopefully. I am not sure if their records will trace a car to another state if it has not been registered in Tennessee within the last 10 years. Be sure to ask as many questions as possible before handing over the money......RatPack.......
