[DML] Carfax and invalid VIN's

["James Espey" <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A few weeks ago someone asked why a particular VIN number would come up as
invalid, when they were *sure* the VIN was correct.

I've recently run into the same problem with a car we are considering
buying, and Carfax has confirmed that if they do not have any data on a
particular VIN, it will be returned as "invalid". The particular car I had
the problem with is a never registered "MSO" car. MSO means "manufacturer's
statement of origin", the document that is used to get a title when a car is
first sold.

Hope this helps...
