"VW put ’90 model year VINs on them so they could get around the new regulations in CA for ’91 model year vehicles."
So they were bending the rules even then.

 It should be registered at the DMV as an ’88 if the VIN identifies it as an ’88.  Not an uncommon error though.


 


The CA 1990 models that I was referring to in my earlier post, actually have the VIN ID as a ’90, even though they were part of the ’91 model production.  VW put ’90 model year VINs on them so they could get around the new regulations in CA for ’91 model year vehicles.


 


Cheers,
