    Run your VIN

    I guess this is similar to carfax or carproof, but this is totally free.

    My buddy showed me this website, it's www.getvin.com

    Input your vehicle VIN and it'll show all the history back to about year 2000. Atleast for the 2 vehicles I submitted, the history only went back to 2000.

    It shows all registration renewals/changes and also showed my SE was a rebuilt title, which was correct.

    I'll vouch and say this site seems to be pretty accurate. I like the fact that it's able to track the registration renewals to the date & place, so you can actually find out where and when it has been registered in the past.

    Run yours, check it out.

    Interesting, this site claims our Corolla was in a minor accident while the carfax we ran when bought states "accident free." Wish I could find my Accord's vin, I sold it but carfax said it was clean as well however the paint on the hood was a slightly different shade.

      hmm my car started out as a NY car in 1990 then 2 yrs later was transferred to Scottsdale, AZ...that's probably why it doesn't have any rust.

      my 93 had everything check out fine. I've owned it since 03' so not much has happened. I did see that the local Honda dealer reported that it was "serviced" since I had that seatbelt issue taken care of

            damn.

            my car was reported as a storm damage from Lacombe, Louisiana in 2005

            Right around Hurricane Katrina.

            :edit:

            CarFax actually never showed that either. And I have a CarFax report right next to me from when I bought this car.

            My CD5 was scrapped 5 months after the accident.

                My friend showed me the site because he's looking to buy a car right now. He was looking at a Nissan Altima and some stuff came up on this site that carproof didn't report.

                I also ran the vin for my Mazda3, and found out it originated in Calgary in 2005, then from 2007-2009 it was registered in Edmonton, and then in mid 2009 was purchased from auction, then next registered to me after I bought it in July 2010.

                  Now I wish I knew the life of my truck although I know it was owned within the same family (mine) for about 12 years.

                  And my first 92 which was also from my parents.

                      How do you know they're trade ins?

                      On mine, it says "Canadian Renewal" on each date when the plate sticker was renewed or when the car was registered to a new owner.

                        Seems to me that I'm the only one on here with negative info I didn't know about the cb I just got acouple weeks back. Apparently it has 270XXX miles on it when the cluster says 151k. It hasn't had 150k since 2000...

                          Ohhh damn. That's not cool. But, you found out for free, and easily. For 270k miles though, that sedan is in excellent shape, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

                            My sedan has been in Midwest all its life had only 2 owners prior.
                            Coupe however has had 8 owners and possible odo rollback wtf.
                            But pretty accurate. Helps me sleep better at night
