VIN Numbers

Does anyone have a VIN breakdown, a friend was looking at my 7 and starting saying something about limited number and some high performance chip? It's an 86 factory white N/A, so if someone has a breakdown or knows where I can find one, well you know what to do.

Stop listening to your friend.

Well the thing is that the original owner, my aunt bought the car and she was told that, the engine was replaced was a race motor and they said the car is different than normal, called Mazda and give them the VIN and they said the same but couldn't go into detail unless I come down, so I don't know what to believe?

"Called Mazda" - what does this mean?
Are you talking about Mazda North American Operations?

Or are you talking about your local Mazda dealer?

I feel bad for you.
All 3 Mazda dealers are bending you over good.

Can you tell us which ones these are so that we can all avoid them???
