VIN number? Thats usually on the chassis of the car. That's on the dashboard, door sills, and firewall. The one on the firewall has the engine code, tranny code, and all that junk. Check the firewall for that info.

It is VERY easy to turn back the miles on a S13. My buddy can do it easily, forgot how though
