Vin# Errors

I went to a paint shop today for an estimate and they ran my vin through the computer. It came back with a list of all options on my car, but i noticed some errors. It says that my car has cloth seats, but I have leather. It also says that it has a 5 speed tranny but I have a 4 speed sporty. All the other options (every option the car can have ... *grins*) are correct, but I was just wondering why there were the 2 errors. Anyone have any clue what this could be from?

never herd of that before, I would get into contact with the dealer and see if they can do something about that. It may not really be a big deal now but if you ever want to trade in the car or sell it people may think that their getting a raw deal.

That's kinda weird... No history of mods done to the car?

Previous owner said there was $2,500 invested into aftermarket. I can unerstand the change to leather, but why go with a sporty? Why even change the tranny at all?

Check your pedals. Look and see if the brake is the smaller indicating a manual WAS in there as well as looking up under for the mounting bracket and or cable for the clutch pedal. Telltale signs that is WAS a standard.

Mits changes their VIN decoders fairly often- it could just be that they're using the wrong decoder.

yea i seriously doubt that the guy would spend alot of money changing to an auto. It must be a mitsubishi mistake

That's my guess as well but hey you never know lol... Though I doubt an auto conversion would be $2,500 or less...
