VIN on windshield

[joz]

Hello, I was viewing this BNR32 and I saw on the windshield on the driver's side that there's a VIN number BNR32-xxxxx but it does not match with the car in particular.

I think people do VIN etching on glass for theft deterrence.

I am starting to have my suspicions whether the car was somehow acquired and "resurrected" using another car's VIN.

Granted, the windshield could have been from a donor but.....

 

I was wondering if there are other places on the chassis that the VIN may be seen other than the bulkhead and the blue tag which both can be transposed.

 

Thanks in advance

Run both VIN's through http://gtr-registry.com/

See which Vin matches the rest of the car. Colour, specs etc.Sorry its not the perfect answer to your question but might help you piece together what has happened.

There's no other places.

thanks both and good advice.

i've put off buying it now as the seller wanted cash in his pocket before he does the ownership change.

combined with this it's all just too fishy.
