who owned my vx???/

[SilverBullet75]

Ok, so I figured out how to do the advanced search for the VIN... but, can somebody explain how the VINs work? I did a search for my '99 Astral and it matched to a girl in Texas with a 2000 Ironman! ??? what the ???

My 2 VX's: '01 0830, and '99 0757

Do the numbers represent the number within the year series?
IE: '99 year series, #0757 of 1000... (or whatever the run ended at)

"after picking up my proton in modesto, ca., i was snooping around the glove box during my first fill-up and found a vet bill"

Biju - Interesting. I found a vet bill in my glovebox too. Since the PO's wife bred some kind of pure breds it wasn't too suprising tho.

heh.. doing the popper kit install on Spike's VX we found the better part of a bag of dry dog food behind his rear passenger side panel.. at that point he had owned his vx for about 3 years..

Because the profile only uses the last 4 digits of the VIN, it is possible that someone else here would have the same last 4 digits as yours, but a different year. Presumably they began at 00001 at the start of each year's production.

Of course, the info is only as accurate as the persons who entered it felt like being. Try doing a search for VIN with "1234" or "0000" and see how many you get!
