Do you want to sell it? I’ve been looking for a newer one. You could then turn around and buy a Argo. I’ve had no issue registering the three Argos that I’ve had. I’d like to try a MaxIV but they are few and far between in Northern Alberta.

We understand your frustration, but it is not the fault of your machine. It IS the fault of your insurance company. The manufacturer was not required to use the automotive style (17 digit) VIN, they simply started started with a serial# in 1969 and went in sequence.

To solve your problem, simply make up a metal tag that says V.I.N.# 000000000000xxxxx. 17 digits with zeros in front of your current serial#. Then pop rivet this tag just below the manufacturer serial# tag.

I wish it was that easy 17 digit vins have a sequence of numbers and letters is certain spots to tell them were it was made year model ect.if they run it and they cant find the vin same boat.also understand that they were not mandatory but ins dsnt care most even argo use 17

Let us know when it goes on Kijiji. Alberta is a long ways from Ontario but there are very few MaxIV’s around Alberta. I actually haven’t ever seen one.

Have the insurance company go here.

Argo did not always have a proper V.I.N. they progressed into them.

So............ (trying real hard not to sound like a jerk)

Looks like it was Not the fault of the manufacturer Max but an insurance broker who was not very compitant.

Looks like it was Not the fault of the manufacturer Max...

Also looks like Recreative Industries deserves a whole-hearted apology.
I bought a '99 Max II and darn glad I did; what a work horse.
What I cannot figure is why you were so quick to blame Max as the cause of your insurance snafu?

Glad you finally got it sorted out. I'm in Pickering Ontario and also have a Max IV, My Max is a 2007 and I have an Ontario ownership for it and it's insured through State Farm.

I have a Maxx IV in Manitoba I would be willing to part with if you are looking for one.
