hi
i am new owner my dodge caravan 3.8 and im living in bureaucratic europe. [east europe ].
and i have problem with VIN nr . my car is a us model from us.
car has nr vin under front glass and other VIN on the body.exactly on the right side with right sliding doors on the floor under the plastic ridge.
this nr VIN looks like engraved on metal. is it original factory number ??
you ever seen such number ?
i have big problem with police because police said - number is valid but not original from factory !!


THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE

 

year? have a picture?

 

If both of the numbers do not match, you have a problem.

The numbers tell the year, size engine, and other information about the Van.

If the numbers dont match the year and engine size etc, then you have a problem.

Many times body shops install a new dashboard, with the VIN thats under the glass. They are supposed to pop-rivet the old VIN from the original dashboard back in place so everything matches.

Was the Van converted from left hand drive to right hand drive?

Was a new engine installed in the Van?

Was the Van ever repainted?


A Manual for your year of Auto will explain what the numbers and letters mean, and you can match each set of numbers/letters to the engine size, etc to see what does not add up.

 

is it year 2008

 

all vin numbers on my car is same.
i have problem because vin on body/chassi is engraved not with machine and looks like homemade work.it is all problem
vin is correct but design is wrong

I've looked at other vans in the shop and they should have a vin there, they should start and stop with the * but it should include the entire vin and not just the last 8 places. Possible the vehicle had that piece replaced and the body shop punched the numbers. But that's deffinitly not factory.
