greg, cloudy is right get the all numbers on all 3 tags and someone will decpher them for you...
the chassis number should match the the number on the compliance plate located on the drivers side....
the engine number should start with QT for a 308 |
Drive carefully! Remember, it's not only a car that can be recalled by it's maker |

Agree, but sometimes people read numbers wrong.
