what exactly is the range of the VINs, cuz i wanna make sure mine is a genuine 10ae, and i thought there was no way to tell aside from the accessories....
ALL 1988 "10th Anniversary" (U.S.) models should have last 6 digits of VIN's...
FROM: ...621393
TO: ...624147
and the one im looking at is ...623013
and i dont know if its true or not,, but ive been told that the ane's have white painted rims to match the car, and that the windows had a gold tint on them...
here is the one that im looking at, as you can see the rims are not white they are gray,, and i dont see the badge on the side of it like the one snowball posted,
my eyes may be retarted but that looks like a s5 front lip, HOWEVER the rest of the molding does not match the pattern, and it appears to be s4, more pictures would help.....along with the VIN
EDIT X2: I seem to suck at life again, seeing as i did not notice the VIN you posted.
thats not a 10th AE its a 89-91 Turbo II form what i can see.
notice the diffrent bumper.
edit... it may be. It has 86-88 moulding.
Maybe still, notice how the trim on the front bumper doesn't match the rest of the S4 molding.
Ask for interior shots, if it has Black interior with manual seat belts, thats a good sign, only S4 with black MANUAL seat belts.
Steering wheel should have the 10th Anv Badge on it too.

yah i saw the s4 moulding after, in fact it looks exactly like my 10th AE, no badges S5 front bumper and no badges (one of the old owners was stupid)
so my evaluation is its a 1988 white but NOT a true 10th AE, no tint and the wheels are the final deciders.
Ok guys,, this has gotten me realy questioning this car,, im planing on going out on wed to look her over,, what all should i be looking for and should i bring up about it since there has been something done to the car.
ok,, see now im starting to think that this is not a real 10AE like you guys are saying, i dont know if i should just pass on this, or if i should use all the info i just learned to force them to drop the price.

id ask them to drop the price, its still a turbo FC. If the car is worth it to you go for it
I appreciate all the quick help guys,, I think im gonna end up passing on this one,, but im going to call them tomarrow and bring up everything snowball said and see what excuse they give me,, if there willing to drop the price i might consider still buying it,,
if this is a normal 88, it has over 120k miles on it,, and the negine is proboly the original what would be a good price to pay for it.
if its the original engine, my .02 is that you should grab a compression tester, and if they let you, compression test it. 120,000 is nearing the end of its life (if it isnt rebuilt). Depending on the previous owners, you may still get a fair amount of mileage out of it. But I would definitely ask them for a price drop.
