Could anyone run some VINs for me?

Post by Savin »

So, I would be very VERY VERY grateful if someone could run 2 VINs for me.

My 1994 GS has a 1993 GS title :? I was handed the title after we loaded the car on the trailer. We couldn't uncover the Vins on the car if we tried. We couldn't open the doors or see through the windshield.

I'm pretty sure the '93 title belongs to an SE. I ran a check (not on carfax) and it came up as an SE. I registered that VIN with mymazda on mazdausa.com, it said the car was clear white... The color matches the front half of the car (VIN on hood does not match car or title).

the '94 could just still be in mazda's database as someone else's car because it would not let me add that VIN. There was an error. Carfax says it is a '94 though.

The '94's VIN: JM1EC436XR0303725 This one is most important. I would really like to know who is supposed to own this car. I don't know if carfax gives out previous owner's names...

The '93's VIN: JM1EC4325P0230502 This one is not as important, but it would be nice to know whatever I can about it, like if the car is now in a junkyard or whatever.

All in all, if worst comes to pass, I'll tell the guy to give me my money and have him take the car back, or I have to take the car back up to taylor michigan and file a complaint with the Police department.

I could just ditch the car in a field somewhere... :shrug:

Thank you ever so much to whomever runs the VIN(s) for me. I'll give you an E-hug if you'd like, haha.

Sounds really fishy, why couldn't you open the doors?

Also, the other VIN might be from a canadian car, I just tried my VIN and it didn't work either.

The fenders on the trailor were up too high. the car sits really low too. We had to remove the front bumper just to make it on the trailer. The windshield was dirty on the inside.

After we strapped the car down, I got the title. Since it is a Canadian car, we all figured (the seller, my buddy, and I) that when it was registered in Michigan, the BMV (or whoever assigns titles) based the vehicle year off the manufacturing date. It was made in november of '93.

If it means anything, at least one of the fender's belongs to an SE...The hood's VIN Doesn't match the car or title. It was originally red though. I'll check tomarrow if there's a VIN on either of the fenders. My RS has a VIN on its original fender.

I'm really thinking the front half is from the SE I have the title for...

Maybe the guy crashed it and found an SE for really cheap and replaced on the front end.

I know the feeling you're having, my car was a mess legally. I was really confused when the used vehicle report and ownership slip of my KLZE swapped MX3 said it's a 4 banger. And apparently it had 10k km's on the odometer 2 years ago according to the emissions test results. :?
