If they are legitimate, all they have to do is get an owners manual for a
particular make.  Every car makers VIN is different.  A w on an olds in a
certain place will indicate 6 cyl 2.8 litter engine.  An r in the same
spot will show a 6 cyl with 3.8 displacement ( for the same car).  So your
VIN decoder must first be informed on what carmakers vin it is.  There is
a chance that VIN includes maker and model as part of the number.
