Carfax shows VIN etching on 1/17/17.

I bought a car in north Jersey 10 years ago, they tried pulling that window etching BS on me, $200 for the etching, I refused. They cut it down to $100, I told them I didn't want the smurfing VIN etching, the guy said, "alright, no charge for the etching", I said I don't want a bunch of shit scratched into my windows. Guy says, it's already on the glass, they do it to all the cars as soon as they are prepped.

If a car is listed from the NY or north Jersey area, it might as well not exist in my head.
There are some bad ones, but there are also some good ones! The dealer I bought my 1LE from, no etching, no front plate bracket, no dealership sticker... The whole experience was awesome. NJ car btw.
