00:00:05.112 --> 00:00:07.859
>> As you can see, here's there's a VIN plate

00:00:07.859 --> 00:00:10.189
and then there also should be a VIN plate

00:00:10.189 --> 00:00:14.324
up in the drip pan here, right under the windshield wipers.

00:00:14.324 --> 00:00:16.854
The actual VIN number for the car here

00:00:16.854 --> 00:00:20.466
was probably defaced, so we could not trace it back.

00:00:20.466 --> 00:00:23.551
This is the VIN that we were able to locate on the car.

00:00:23.551 --> 00:00:27.502
The import specialist decoded this VIN number.

00:00:27.502 --> 00:00:32.438
They discovered numerous discrepancies with the vehicle.

00:00:32.438 --> 00:00:36.297
>> This is a marking on the windshield that shows this vehicle has an airbag.

00:00:36.297 --> 00:00:39.782
The 1988 mini-Cooper would not have an airbag,

00:00:39.782 --> 00:00:42.129
so this is another factor that shows that

00:00:42.129 --> 00:00:46.059
we think this vehicle was made closer to 2000.
