Default Re: Documenting Cars

Easier yes,but also to aid in deception as well.
Not to take anything away from what great service to the hobby George Z.does,but VVS also makes it easier for the criminal mind to deceive.
A vehicles assigned VIN tag,trim tag,options & point of origin are all they are documenting up there..that's it.
In this world of so many rebodies or "artfully altering" a car to reflect another,it's up to the buyer to do his homework ever moreso from a car sold new or built in Canada.
Searching past owner history,removing certain body panels to look for a hidden original VIN,or sectioning of it on a Canadian car are just as time consuming as an American sold car.
