You were right the vins don’t match not even a little bitI've purchased TWO vehicles where the title VIN number did not match the VIN plate on the vehicle.
In one case, someone had exchanged a "Z" for a "2", and in another I think it was an "I" for a "1". The rest of the numbers matched. The Highway Patrol inspected the cars, issued paperwork, and the title got corrected without much hassle.
In your case, I'd want to compare the VIN plate on the dash to the VIN on the title. There are "secret" VIN numbers stamped into the frame, and perhaps on the cowl/firewall on the lower right side, and probably other places as well. My '92 and '93 Luminas had VIN stickers on the fenders, trunk lid, and other easily-replaced parts.
Vin shows 1998 not 1988 which explains a lot. Vincheck says not stolen and not salvaged. I guess I’ll go to the Secretary of State on Monday.
