Hello All,

I got the car over to my garage tonight and when I was getting ready to fill out the registration paper work I realized the VIN it's been registered with is different from the VIN on the body of the car.

The differences are in the 10th, 11th, and 13th places.

WDB1231301A202281 = The original VIN is
WDB123130A12F2281 = The registered VIN

I know this car was a European Import because it has a 4spd stick, manual sunroof, manual windows, and a cloth interior.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this was registered like this?

My friend down the street is the previous owner, and he said when he went to the DMV he pointed out the discrepancy and they told him to keep it registered with it's current VIN, even though it's different.

I figured somebody on this forum might have some ideas on this one.

Thanks!
