Stuart35 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi, this is a long story. I live in Thailand and have bought a used Fiesta from a private dealer. I needed to buy some service parts and gave Ford my VIN number which they could not find in the system. This issue was passed over to the office who tried to trace my vehicle. After 3 months, the results are as follows: 1. There is no data anywhere in the system relating to my VIN number. 2. There is no record from the factory of this VIN number. 3. We (Ford)cannot help you anymore. Additionally, The details from Foretis do not match my car, either. I have checked with Ford in the neighboring countries and they too cannot trace this vehicle. Does anybody have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Personally, I'd take the car back... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss max Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 This sounds ever so slightly dodgy. Like someone has made the VIN number up. Does the vin number on the car match the documents like log book? Either way, Like laurie says, take the car back to the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM46 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Definitely sounds like a vin number has been made up. I would take it back and ask them to explain the discrepancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
