your website (and everything else i've seen for teh svx) always show the 6th digit to be a "3" for 3.3L, but the 97s (and i think 96s) are an "8". do you know why this is different?
i am asking this, because i was looking in auto trader at SVXs and noticed some other 97 LSi models with a different check digit than mine. at first look, they all seemed to be "0", but i found one with an "X". mine, however, is a "9". this reminded me of when i tried to run a carfax of my car before i bought it and came up empty handed.
finally, when one registers a car in colorado, the original taxable value of the car is listed on your registration. this amount is always 85% of original msrp. the orignal taxable value of my 97 LSi calculates out to be exactly $16,000. i'm sure my car has an invalid VIN.
