Title: Caveat Emptor...tag swap?

124379N608379

Has an X77 body tag dated 08A. At one time, the car had a re-issued VIN tag 124379N670189 which corresponds to an 08A body tag date.

If 124379N608379 is the VIN on the tag in the dash, could be a problem.

Never seen a 4 digit interior trim code before?

Have one other example, same date. No idea why it is there.

Most of these stealships know the tags, engine stamps etc are fake but don't care one bit and sell them as if they are factory.
