false advertising?
take it back

 

[KraftyPg]

VIN decoders aren't always that accurate. Where did yours come from?

 

[Brownie82]

A car yard... Spanish.

Might have to call them or Nissan.

 

[KraftyPg]

A Spanish car yard?

Nissan will be able to tell you in about 30 seconds.

 

[Brownie82]

No sorry, got it from a car yard. The number represents a Spanish model.

Thanks.

 

[FatBoy89]

What are you actually trying to find out?

 

[KraftyPg]

VSK is Spain (as are all STX DC's I believe). M something is Thai and only ST and RX models before this year from memory.

 

[Brownie82]

Yeah its definitely VSK (well on the plate on passenger side pillar).

Just wanting to double check i guess FatBoy. Plus the Plate says 01/08 but is registered as an 07. So I just want to confirm...

The book says the same as the VIN on the plate, and engine is saying YD25??

 

[FatBoy89]

Message me your VIN and ill get you all the details tomorrow.

Mines saying 2yrs younger than it is and completely different engine. Lol.

 

[KraftyPg]

Have Nissan confirmed anything yet?

If Fatboy is on he can probably confirm it in about 30 seconds

 

[FatBoy89]
