Agreed, Bob. I would hope that people who had heard about it would contact me and tell me about the murmurings that would be occuring behind my back about said vehicle (please keep in mind that I am not actually trying to solicit responses as I am not purchasing the car-- just trying to illicit thought). I will drop the subject now, as the goal has been accomplsihed-- just to get people thinking about how wrong selling trim/VIN tags really is. It may seem like a crime without a victim, but there will certainly always be a victim somewhere down the line. This kind of thing is ALWAYS going to happen given the $$ amounts we are dealing with. However, if we stick together and let people know there may be suspicions or whatever......then prospective buyers can search a little further/deeper to prove a particular car (such as somparing hidden VINs). That is all I am saying/asking of the community.
