Hi,

Congratulations and welcome. The VIN isn't the best source of information. It would be better to look at the codes on the Build Sticker located under the Hood. This sticker will contain a series of 3 digit option codes which tell you everything that went into the car. Never post the VIN (which I'm sure you already know), but it's OK to post the option codes from the Build Sticker and we can decipher them for you. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... im'99

Why do you never post VINs?
Aren't they required on sites like eBay and Autotrader?

Jeph, there was a good thread about this a few months back. I'll try to find it.
