Wow, awesome.
Can we sticky this

Haboob 05-30-2013 03:45 PM

You remember the VIN of your old cars?

I don't even know the VIN of my Z... didn't realize I needed to memorize this ****.


I sure hope there's not a test tomorrow... :eekdance:

I'd assume this is intended to help with used car sales.

ShutokuZ 05-30-2013 04:01 PM

LOL! I do have binders/maint records of all my old cars:eek:
Also, my insurance company stores all my old cars I insured through them, so I can always look up my old VINs on the website.

That's weird, both my cars worked. Are you sure you typed the vin correctly?

Make sure you are checking the small box right above the vin block. It is easy to miss.

repped good find. I was actually searching for something like this earlier this week for my car.

ShutokuZ 05-30-2013 09:00 PM

I don't normally either, but I like to keep things to remember about my cars, especially the ones that are hard or cannot get here.

ParkStr8 05-30-2013 09:51 PM

I just ran the VIN on my old 2011 G37S coupe - that was rear ended with 2k miles on it to the tune of 12k in damage. VIN came up clean. And showed a second owner.

Not buying it. Literally. But I guess they did.

Jasonle 05-30-2013 09:55 PM

Good find!

dirtrat 05-31-2013 12:53 AM

Two of my vehicles had accidents but neither one showed that on the report.

Guys, I don't understand why you guys keep asking... They aren't reported just because... The only time repairs and accidents are reported is when the repair shop decides to report it.

My dad's Highlander has been in 20 fender benders, clean title because he goes to a shady repair place. My mom's Lexus has been in 3-5 fender benders, all hitting poles and crap, but clean title

ShutokuZ 05-31-2013 10:05 AM

I don't think it was really meant to show a complete history of the car, just more for something cool to look up and also to help someone buying to see the mileage/owner information.

LakeShow 06-01-2013 01:32 AM

I just looked up my 2011 Z which was a lemon and I had it in NY, found out it went to auction in PA, Titled in FL, then finally registered and titled in Baton Rouge, LA. Interesting, wonder if that person is a member here lol.

ShutokuZ 06-01-2013 08:06 PM

It's trippy to see how some of these cars travel! One of my old cars I had in HI (e46m3), ended up in NM! My guess it was an Military person who took it over.....

Drex 06-01-2013 08:51 PM

my old rsx was in an accident less than a year after i sold it. now it's in canada with a rebuilt/salvage title. poor car :shakes head:

Baer383 06-01-2013 08:59 PM

I looked up my old 350z for the hell of it,it seems that a couple of hot blondes in bikinis robbed a bank and then changed the color of the car then they met up with some other chicks in hollywood at a mansion and had a wild lesbo party.:tup:

jae35 06-02-2013 08:17 AM

thanks for this

Z_ealot 06-04-2013 11:21 PM

i did find something interesting with this utility, the dealer i ordered my Z from just today gave me the VIN for my Z and when i put the VIN into this utility of course it doesnt bring up any records of it being registered at the DMV or anything, but i found it very interesting that its bringing up my VIN as being a model year 2014 Nissan 370Z

all 370 VIN numbers are the same there are just a few unique characters that differentiate yours from all the rest. so for instance, all 2010 anniversary edition 370's will have the same exact VIN information stating the year make and model of the car but the last five digits (guessing 5) of the VIN number will be different.

i just looked up on how to decipher a VIN and according to information i looked up the 10th digit of the VIN number indicates the model year of the vehicle no matter who the manufacturer is and according to the table i found my Z is in fact a 2014 as the 10th digit of my VIN is "E" which corresponds to a 2014 model year vehicle. Seems kinda weird that Nissan would be producing 2014's already unless my dealer has a big suprise in store for me and actually got ahold of one of the first 2014's off the line which would be totally awesome IMO :D

oh and here's the link to the website where i found the info http://www.researchmaniacs.com/VIN/VIN-Decoder.html

Zbrah 06-05-2013 03:34 AM

FREE EXPERIAN AUTO CHECK thanks to EBAY (LIKE CARFAX)
Looking to buy a used car or just check out the history report of your car?

I was looking at prospective vehicles and the thought of paying $25 for a CARFAX made me choke-- so........

1. Grab your VIN (or get the VIN for the vehicle you want to check out)
2. Sign onto ebay motors
3. SELL your car on ebay motors and make sure to enter "your" cars VIN...make up whatever data you want and set the price HIGH unless you want to actually get bidders..
4. List the auction-- ITS FREE TO LIST

Go back in and click on the FREE HISTORY REPORT tab in the new auction you just created...Be sure to click SEE THE FULL HISTORY REPORT

READ ALL ABOUT YOUR VEHICLES HISTORY....

You can kill the auction early and the data is still there months later-- In fact-- I used this-- bought the vehicle- and checked it 45 days later and the report now contained MY added emission information so its updated at the time of request no just one time when the auction is added....

ShutokuZ 08-03-2013 04:01 PM
