What's in a VIN??
I've got a 2005, with leather seats, Bose, cruise control, electric seat adjustments, heated seats, HID's, dimming rear view, and automatic. I do not have a third switch in the center console.
According to my VIN number the dealer says it's a "base" model. So, do I have the VLSD and TCS?? How do I verify, or does it matter what the dealer says? I got the info from the 100 FAQ post. https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...questions.html thanks John |

A "VIN" is your vehicle identification number AkA (Something you SHOULD of checked before buying your vehicle to avoid buying base models, salvage titles or other f*cked up **** people lie about..)
However , your dealer is most-likely bullsh*tting you since base models do NOT come with leather seats, bose, etc, hence the name "base model". Lastly, to determine if you have a base model check down on your dash beside the fuel button for a button called "VDC" .. that stands for Vicious Drift Commencer (or Vehicle Dynamic Control) and that would determine if you have traction control or naaatt. |

No base car ever came with an auto trans, and that's a conversion no one would ever waste their time/$ doing.

You have a Touring model.

You do have a touring model, but they generally come with VDC (instead of just TCS)
