Check out the post on T.Y. page 4 about Vin #'s and let us know if anyone can clear this up ?

Samuel, Lapland..... wow talk about the great white north..... ! (004204) Hmmmm...... this brings me to and interesting question. With the exception of one lone (1982 SRX/Vmax 010154) vin # that was given to me, all the USA Vin. #'s start with prefix such as 8X6- Which indicates model year and end with 3 leading zero's and then the serial # such as 8X6-0001581 the highest number we had until now for the 84 models. So, if they were sold to some where besides North America maybe they inserted a digit in the three leading spaces 8X6-004204 ? Certainly, the digit 4 cannot be a part of the actual vin # because, if it was then that would mean there were 4204 Vmax540's sold outside North America ? Maybe the 4 is the country with 204 units sold there ?
