It appears that my pointing out that the windshield VIN is clearly a forgery, they changed the VIN on the front page of the ad, took down the windshield VIN picture, and located the front fender VIN to include a picture.

This is one of the many reasons I really enjoy the "garage".
Every time a car is scrutinized by the Group it becomes a learning experience for me. Besides knowing what to look for in other cars, I continually learn about what my cars need to look like to pass Muster. Every time someone notifies the World about the newest piece of meat on the block, I pay close attention as the critics begin the process of identifying the flaws. Cant wait until the next one gets put in the Hot seat! |

Interesting find Garland! So who cares enough about this to pony up $8.99 for the full vehicle history report? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They obviously scraped that coating gunk off in response to your inquiry to show the fender VIN pic. The shot of the entire front trunk you can clearly see that it isn't scraped off there. BTW, what the hell is that stuff? It looks like asphalt! |
