NEVER EVER EVER MESS WITH VIN# PLATES!!! In New Jersey the MAN can impound a car with a bad VIN#, put in a police auction and buy it himself for $1.00!!!! My 83 Euro-s has a VIN# plate under the driver side windshield, a VIN# acid etched into the passenger side of the engine bay AND a foil sticker with the VIN# on the driver side door frame! NJDMV sold me **** about my VIN# because U.S. vin codes don't use "O" or zero but German VIN codes do! My VIN# starts with WPOZZZ and I had to go th Cherry Hill DMV office 5 TIMES to get my shark titled even though the previous owner had titled and regestered it at the Vineland office!!! When I offered to go to Trenton DMV headquarters and have the director of DMV explaine their unwillingness to title my car, Cherry Hill office got off their *** and issued me a title. Remember-"**** flows downhill" so- if some minor clerk doesn't want to do their job, offer to take the problem to their department director and make them 'stand tall before the man'!!!

It'd be interesting to see what turns up on a Carfax report on this car.

I personally have ZERO faith in carfax. I knowingly bought a car with salvage title and carfax showed it clean.
