Calm down, there are some importers that are importing european vehicles that have swapped VINs claiming they are older than they are. 20 year old vehicles are exempt from Federal emission and DOT standards. They take a newer Land Rover and re VIN and title it as a 20 year old model. This is really popular with Land Rovers and the classic Mini. Ive seen plenty of Minis which I know are late 90s and later model years being represented as much earlier models.
