Should the clone VIN make me apprehensive about buying the car? I definitely don't want anything like that to cause me issues later on, maybe getting higher insurance rates for wrecks I never had in states I never lived in or something like that.
I honestly just don't have an answer for that question. This situation is obviously pretty rare, it doesn't affect this particular vehicle or it's condition. It might be a bargaining tool to buy the car at a better price. If you like this SRT6 and intend to have it for a while, I would still buy it. You'll receive a proper title and with the CarFax report kept in your file you'll have an explanation for the discrepancies in the gathered data showing on AutoCheck and CarFax about that VIN number.
