Is the VIN required on PayBay?

I called em

It seems ePay has become a little more user friendly with a call back system .

I have read areas where they say they require a vin and not only on post 1981 vehicles.

When they called back they said no they do not is is optional on a pre 1981. I have seen them remove ads without them from time to time that don't have vin but I would say they are more interested in their listing fees than doing the right thing.

Always interesting how you would change a round corner car into a square corner car and oh look he has a front clip off to the left just laying around. I'd say Florida is a wet and salty place to shop for a car.

Salty

Warren, Why is Florida saltier than So Cal? I have a car from Hawaii and one from Florida and they are just fine with no rust. Coastal areas have a salt mist that rusts from the top down, as opposed to the salted roads of the midwest where they rust from the bottom up.

OR: The Nor'east climate where 6 months of salt roads plus the other 6 months of high humidity keep our toys under wraps . . . . . .
 
Case by case

It depends on lots of things like prevailing wind direction wave size. On big surf days you can see feel and taste the spray. These cars are ill equipped for drainage and don't tolerate neglect. Water running thru is bad add salt from the ocean spray or the road. I try not to drive the beach on those big days.

If you got a car from Hawaii that wasn't rusty I would guess that it was well protected from salt spray and not rode hard and put away wet. I have seen plenty of rusty cars in Hawaii and in California. When I scored a Tiger in San Diego there was a 912 Porsche 2 blocks away and it was Swiss Cheese. What saved the beach cat was the Tiger was tight up against a wall against the prevailing wind.

This car was unclaimed before it was added to registry in 3/15 and came from Texas.

No comparison in rain amount if we are talking below Santa Barbara. Then there is the humidity.

Sure stuff rusts from top down but the salt hardly ever gets rinsed out and every time the dew point is reached is .... well rust never sleeps as a song goes.
