double post, mods, please can-x

Wife and I bought our 99 Variant from Whidbey Island VW in August. Just today I was browsing some of the local dealer sites to see what they had in their inventory, and I ran across a car VERY similar to the one we purchase from a DIFFERENT dealer back in August. They list the VIN #, so I...
