2000 Mitsubishi Lancer rotor replacement

Don't worry. I won't give up until we get you rotors. However, I hate to guess with brakes. That isn't a part that you want to be wrong about. I will call him again tomorrow and expaine that is the vin that is on the car.

I usually never ask this question, but are you in the United States? If not, maybe there is some kind of difference in VIN's. I doubt it, but who knows. Also, I need you to measure the diameter of the rotor. Let's see what we can do. I'll call again tomorrow. I'll be in touch with you.

Okak, hear is what I found. The vin can't be correct. According to my findings, the 10th digit, 1, indicates the vehicle is a 2001 not a 2000. Next, the last 8 digits should be sufficient to identify the vehicle via Mit. On line system. It shows that the car is a 2001 mitsubishi mirage and has a junked title.

I'm not sure what is going on other than the vin is wrong or someone sold you a car and switched the vin plate on the dash for some reason.

Let me know what you find. My buddy checked this himself today, so I'm confident that what he says is correct.

Let me know what you think.

The VIN number that you have provided belongs to a car that has been destroyed from and accident, fire, vandals. The car shouldn't be on the road anymore. It should be in a salvage yard / junk yard not driveable. Something doesn't make sense here. However the 10th digit in your vin is the number one which indicates it is a 2001 model year not a 2000. The other part of the vin indicates it is a Mirage not a Lancer. I think you need to talk with the person you got it from and have him make things right. This could lead to a legal issue for you. Hell, if you can't get brake rotors for it because it has the wrong vin tag on the dash for a different year and model, something isn't right. As far as the car goes, it can't perform its intended purpose because you can't identify what parts to get. In the US, that is means for a full refund, and the dealer would be in a ton of trouble.

Please let me know how I can help. I'm really trying here and want you to get what you need and deserve. I'm not making accuations, but I have to question what you said, foul play.

Joe

Honestly, I can't think of any other reason you would have the vin plate for an 01 Mirage on a 2000 Lancer. Recheck it and we'll try again.

If you are corrrect, you will need to contact the police.

I haven't heard from you for awhile. Have you had any luck with the VIN?
