The ONLY reason for VIN swapping and not using a state issued VIN after the original is gone is MONEY. Plain and simple. Your INTENT to defraud may not be there but 5-6 owners down the road when the story is neglected to be told, what happens then? A big, nasty lawsuit and Feds getting involved, that's what!
Your quote sounds more like urban myth, or scare tactics employed by goody 2 shoer's to dissuade said action(s), your comparing the action of outright high dollar deceit vs placing some low end valued numbers to a low end valued vehicle, both long forgotten, where's this "money"?
Perhaps if someone took you for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars or MILLIONS, you'd have the resources to recoup a judgement, but we're talking your basic overvalued Mopar junk here that everyone thinks is big bucks, even in the real world where high end collectors suspect they've purchased a vehicle that is "suspect" in some way, shape or form, it moves from their collections via trades, auctions, private sales, etc DAMHIK
