Ahh thanks Christian, (good to your name). Can't tell you how this has me
worried. What happens if I get pulled over by a cop? The numbers don't
match...

      DATE       ODOMETER       INFORMATION       GENERAL
      REPORTED       READING       SOURCE       COMMENTS

      01/14/1999       87,474       Connecticut       Title issued
                          Motor Vehicle Dept.
                          Ansonia, CT
                          Title #024509735

      NOTE: You have significantly reduced your risk of purchasing a vehicle
with a hidden problem. However, Carfax has not inspected this vehicle. There
could be other potential problems with this vehicle that have not been
reported to Carfax.

      NOTE: Not all titles issued represent a change in vehicle ownership.
For example, a title could be issued to reflect an address change or
correction.



2nd VIN:
      Carfax© has no data on your VIN
        Carfax has no data available on the VIN you supplied,
"WVWZZZ53ZBK002584."
 This would lead me to believe the second VIN is a Canadian/grey market bit,
since Carfax gets data from all 50 states, currently.

HTH,

Christian
87 16V
