TURBOWGN- Yeah exactly, if someone going to buy a VLT or VLCT you want to make sure you find out all the numbers are correct. there would be nothing worse than finding out you mint calais auto turbo wagon is a Vacationer.... Buyer beware.... No one buys a GT-HO "thinking its original"....

No match found for luxury level! No match found for body style level! No match found for engine type! No match found for year made! No match found for plant created in! woohooo! my car doesn't exist! found another VL vin calculator on vlturbo.com, comes up with Division: Holden Luxury Level: Berlina Body Shape: Sedan Engine: RB30E (Non Turbo) Year: No match for Year Plant: No match for Plant Serial #: 04543 Year: ERROR - should be F, G or H Plant: ERROR - should be J or L and between 1 and 9 so mine comes up with no Year and Plant, because it has MGZ in my VIN code. but it should be G (for 1987) not sure what plant though.

My uncle has a SL exec wagon, NA 6 cylinder 1988 the vin is 8K19JGL247549L now the calculator says it's a sedan 304 v8 with 122 kw and a 1987 model! completely wrong! go figure! unless the tag has been ripped off and put on the wagon?

the calculator is correct if that's the tag details on the car your uncle "owns" then he "owns" a very dodgy car: someone elses most likely so contact police asap to sort it out
