URGENT! Missing VIN on dash
Hi All,
I am looking into purchasing a 2005 Lancer ES and noticed the VIN plate is not on the dash by the registration and inspection sticker (top left side on dash)? There is just an "airbag" sign there instead. Is this a sign that it could be a stolen car or is it located somewhere else on these Lancers. Can someone take a pic or let me know where the VIN for the dash is located?

Engine bay/ should be on all body panels (at least on evos it is) I would probably walk away though....... What did the owner say about the missing vin ?I would think the car was probably in an accident and the passenger bag blew off and he got a used dash for $100

Yeah, so far i havnt even talked with the real owner, only through his friends or family, which seems to know nothing about the car and was the one who showed me the car. Anyone have a pic of where the vin plate should be on the dash? Maybe i looked at the wrong place?
I checked the carfax and theres no signs of it being reported stolen or in an accident.. so might be looking at the wrong place?
