hmmmm.. i dont know.. but it still pisses me off.. i have vin he gave me in email from a while ago.. i will see if it matches with the vin on the paperwork..ill get back to you guys
When I was in college (a few decades ago), I worked at the marine terminal in Baltimore, where all the European and some Japanese imports arrived. I was very reluctant in buying any import by what I experienced. First, when a dozen or so longshoremen have to move 2500 cars off a ship in a day, there is alot of abuse of the vehicles that goes on, primarily speeding and over-reving. All cars are put in a lot and then a crew will go and mark the destination of each car from a print out file. The cars are then re-distributed to different lot according to their destination and mode of transportation. Some of the cars are driven to the rail yard section of the terminal where they are driven onto the rail cars. The rest are driven to a trailer pick-up lot for loading onto trucks. So as you can see it's easy to put on a few miles jockeying the cars around. The worst part is that you are looking at unskilled laborers doing all the driving around, some of which can't even drive a stick and are stalling the cars, grinding the gears, burning rubber and even driving around whithout fully releasing the emergency brake. So I hate to burst your bubble for those that have just a few miles, but those couple of miles will propably be the hardest miles your car will ever see.
