Interesting things you learned about your cars after you bought them.

then after decoding the VIN found out that my car was #613 of the 4th gen production line and one of the first 5 in Arctic white.

how did you do that ?

Our TA was originally owned by a doctor that let his daughter drive it... my dad and I are keeping the tradition going

how did you do that ?

i forgot what website i used but all you have to do is search for VIN decoders and paint code coders and its amazing how much info you can learn about your car.

not quite after i bought it but when i went to look at it the guy said it was originally from hawaii and that he bought it new there and then had it in north carolina and florida (where i bought it)


i confirmed this after i bought it when he gave me a bunch of business cards and delivery type items from a dealership in hawaii and carfax confirmed it too.

it had kansas plates on it and i remember looking under it to check the undercarriage and thats when he told me it was never a northern car. the ks plates were actually registered to a PO box there and the title i got from ks dated back to 1996. he said they registered it to the po box since he was military (car did have a DoD sticker on the windshield) so they didnt have to reregister it when they moved
