Default Manufactured Date?

The date the car was made is listed on the inside of the door correct? It says 5/85. When I pull up the vin it says 87 and the registration is 87. What gives?

Does the VIN on the door match the VIN in the windshield? Which VIN matches your registration?

It would seem you've maybe a used door OR you've mistaken the information on the certification label.

Registrations and titles are based upon the "windshield" information!!

What happens to the title if a car is junked or parted out? Vin number just can't be found when checked?

Title would be noted as "salvage" - "junk" - "scrapped" or whatever the state where it was done in uses in classification of .......

The VIN really never goes away ......
