No, not really. He already said that *telling* the agent he has an ABS light
on his dashboard wasn't good enough; what makes you think that *showing* him
an ABS light would be any better? The presence of a light on the dashboard
doesn't prove that the car is actually equipped with ABS -- but the presence
of an ABS sensor on the hub sure does.

Complete nonsense. That's not encoded in the VIN.

He already said explicitly that he bought the car used and does not have a
copy of the sticker.
