The VIN identifies the car as it left the factory and should reflect the options present on the original window sticker. The dealer-added options are still dealer-added options, not factory-equipped options. There is an extra dealer addendum to the window sticker that should list the dealer-added options, as well as such lovely things as "dealer mark-up" on popular models. -- ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Alan F.
