I'm not saying to be paranoid, but it has happened in the past.
I don't understand. Are you having second thoughts about this thread? BTW, dealerships are aware that there are people that have tried this before and they do not give keys to people who are unregistered owners with VIN numbers alone. We got some good momentum thanks to you, let's keep it going!
