#Vehicle identification number *VIN*

How about adding a VIN for the car in which its configuration will be encrypted

Engine, transmission, interior trim, (color? No idea how to do it)

If you assemble a car that will match the VIN, then it can be sold for more

Also add trap cars with fake VIN that can only be bought for spare parts since they cannot be sold

It will be possible to identify traps by VIN, but not always

Let's say there is a LAD in a landfill, you look at the VIN on its engine shield and see that the i6 engine is indicated there, which was never put there, or the place of the LAD model is indicated by the LAD Coupe model

Cars with a fake VIN will cost less (not always)

What to do with a trap car

You bought a car in a used market (not a dump) it has a fake VIN code and you didn't notice it and now you lose 10k? 20k? a place for quick earnings?

1.You can keep it for yourself as a working car
2.You can disassemble the car for spare parts
3.1. Go to the landfill, find a car of the same configuration.
3.2 Saw off his motor shield (vin plate) where the VIN is knocked
out
3.3 Weld the motor shield (vin plate) onto the trap car
3.4 Sell the trap car to another player
3.5 Watch as the player receives a $20,000 fine for selling a fake car and loses his garage for 7 days

The probability of being discovered for forgery of VIN is 10%

Then add papers, add organisations that will legalize changes by adding notes to thse papers, make it necessary to registrate the car by players when they buy them and its possible to register only basic or legalized configurations, add inspections that will regularly check your car if its legal and give huge fines if its not, or even confiscate the car.
All of this is very unnecessary.

#

Although, having a vin for identificating basic car configuration and list of owners would be nice

So it didn't seem to me that someone was reading my mind

The car is checked for legality only if the player drives on public roads.
The car will be confiscated
It can be returned by stealing it from the parking lot

Yes, the main idea is to restore the car, not what is happening now

Did the car have a white interior? Okay, now I'm going to walk through the dump and remove the seats of different colors so that they are, the color of the interior does not affect the cost

There was an I6D Turbo in the car, it's too expensive, I'll take the turbo for myself, and the I4 will assemble and sell the car

Perhaps adding a VIN will provoke a hunt for fake cars in the hope of finding a fake VIN that fits your favorite car (Wolf. V8. Automatic. white interior)

And whats happening? People tune their cars however they like? And you want to restrict them from their creativity and send through seven circles of bureaucracy? No one will play the game then.
That is whole point in freedom of creating cars, that you can build whatever you want. If you want to restore cars to original state - your welcome, you can sell them in service center for good money or to people, if they wish to pay.
It will especially affect modded cars in their current state, since they are mostly built on chassis of base game cars

Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly or the translator did not work correctly

Let's say you have a Wolf c V8
You have a regular VIN code.
You want it to look like a factory car.
Look for a fake car that has a V8 and not an I6D listed on it.
Install a fake VIN with the "correct" configuration.

No penalties for using a different VIN code
The problem with a fake VIN code occurs only when selling a car in a store

I can see what you mean

I had a VIN suggestion in the back of my mind for a while, but stopped because of 1 thing:

Since the game hasn't fully implemented online features, the chances of a duplicate VIN is very high, when VIN numbers are supposed to be 1 of 1. From my knowledge atleast

Well, a vin number is 17 digits. The first few will set maker, body style, engine. The rest are sequential production numbers

#

A vin decoder will have access to a database of records for manufacturers. Because your gun is what tells the manufacturer what oarts they need to repair it since that is what tells them exactly which car it is

#

So it spits out your options and such

#

But some bins can tell you basic things

#

And then the rest is a sequencial starting at 100,001

That doesn't sound too bad at all

I've spoken to people and such where certain vehicles have had upwards 8 different plates and various vin numbers. Makes it very trick to track its history
