looking at a 99, that is on 3rd owner. but some confusion.
1) Carfax ( uisng license plate) comes back and agrees with what current owner tells me of what he knows ( over phone and 2 hours away) including the accident, and approx date that gave it a salvage title.( with previous owner)
However....car fax comes back with 17 characters in vin, I checked several times, yet when I try to look up more im told too many characters. Type in pate again, comes back with everything right, except again too many characters.
2) on the car fax it says on date of repair and new title.... and makes note of color reported as gold ( was it changed to gold ? ) when his wife bought it and transfered to her name.
3) it has a locker, automatic, but the floor mats say "Highlander" I asked owner, he said ....I dont know...its a 4runner my wife bought.
so......Vin begins JT3HN.....does the H stand for highlander ?
why does it have 17 characters on car fax.
I called owner again, but being turkey day cant get him, and he said he was going hunting tomorrow......I believe both of those, cause so am I , friday and saturday is special caribou hunt days in this part of Alaska
other info. 185k. Timing belt wires and plugs done 9k ago, sunroof is glued shut, studded snows on 2nd season. Gold, black flares, emblems are gold, tan cloth.
