People will spend thousands for a car and still try to cheat Carfax out of 20 bucks to try to find out about the car. I don't get it. Would you pay someone 20 bucks to tell if they knew all about a car and its past? I would.

I'm just a regular car guy trying to rely on other car guys for some intel. I apologize if this makes you upset in some way. You are entitled to handle your affairs how best fits you.

Doesn't upset me, I just don't understand the logic. Good luck with the carfax for whatever that Vin fits.

He never said it was a Corvette.

The VIN is for a 2014 Camaro Z/28, which is (was) built in Canada.
That is why the VIN starts with "2"
