VIN - Vehicle Identification Number

So, a while ago I posted this archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/16565688/ in which I included a lot of information and websites to aid in the "check" of a VIN.

>Now, I found one new website which, although small, can help you identify (or give you an idea) a problem by just listening to a "noise".
mycarmakesnoise.com/


Also, I'll copy/paste info from last post. Maybe I'll throw in some checks for the lucky gals :)

>PLEASE READ EVERYTHING!!!!!
>THE FOLLOWING SOURCES ARE FREE AND TO KEEP THEM THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE TO... NOT FUCKING ABUSE THEM.

>Odometer fraud, Branded title, Flooded... You have to put the email you used on Carfax so, once you check it, the vehicle will automatically be added to "mygarage" on "mycarfax.com".
carfax.com/press/resources

>Theft report and title check (more specific)
nicb.org/theft_and_fraud_awareness/vincheck


The following have a limit of 2 or 3 checks per 24 hours so, use the above first and if everything checks out then you go here. To use the following website you have to enter the info and shit but once you get to the report/results page you have to scroll down all the way and click on continue to see the full report.
>Search by VIN
vehiclehistory.com/vehicle/land.php

>Search by plate/state
vehiclehistory.com/licence-plate-search/licence-plate.php

>Finally, the maintenance/service/ records and a new feature that values the car you are checking by using the records.
>On this website you will have to create an account (don't worry they don't need verification so, you can use literally anything.
>BUT... make sure you save/remember what information you use to make the account as you don't want to be making accounts everything time you check a vehicle out; that will draw attention.

They have an app but is not free. :(
I can compensate for this disappointment by checking a couple of VINs. Post them!

Tried to check before buying but there were no VIN threads up. this is really useful stuff, I would be down to have it stickied.

thank you vin God

You are welcome!

Thanks a lot. Is there any way to see if it meets California emission standards?

I don't know. I live in Cali but I don't own a car. Is it modified?

How about research.com?

No idea. I just know our state has must stricter emission standards than the other 49 states, so I'm wary about buying out of state and having to shell out extra. I just don't want to contact the guy until I'm sure I'm ready to buy.

A couple of anons told me that a long time ago when I started but I'll told them that I although I wanted money that it wasn't a necessity and that maybe in the future if I do need money I'll know those anons will support me. Thank you, though.

does the vincheck you use only work on cars within the USA? because that could cause the problem with that ride

>p.s the bid is at 4.2k atm is 6k a reasonable price you think?
Yes.
CarFax says that this car (even if the conditions of the car were bad) is worth 13k. On paper it looks like a gem. Good luck!

P.S.A
Please search your VIN/Plate number here archive.4plebs.org/o/ to see if I already checked it. If you still want me to check it then just let me know you want the new info. and I'll post anything that happened in the last 6 months. Thank you.

I have no idea. In 2003 this car had 23k km and 10 years later it reached 1 million km. Something happened in those ten years. Thats about 270 km daily without missing a day for 10 years. Did you ask the previous owner about the km reading?

Previous owner jammed tinfoil in a fuse to make it work, and just bypassed the ignition fuse altogether. I doubt he knows shit about it.
If it really does have 1.45m klmrs, they were put on within 5 years, it was sitting for 6-4 years before I got it, and had 301,000 on the odometer when I did.

Damn. I don't know what to tell you. Good luck with your car, I guess!

Thanks, hope yours stays well.

I don't own a car lol

No? Are you saving for one?

YO!!! Plot twist of the century

WBAET37483NJ33441

Thanks in advance.

I am saving for a 03+ LX470 or an 03+ Land Cruiser. I don't know, I'm still undecided if its none of those then an SC400 or another coupe/compact car. I know they are expensive but I'll only need it for long trips or special occasions - usually to carry a lot of people. I still would want a coupe for my brother and I but I am not sure since I don't really need one but It'll be nice to have a nice car.

Surprise!

>-Reported odometer fraud: No.
This is what I'm worried about right now. This car was purchased from a mechanic, and the odometer says 156k, but when I used PA Soft 1.4, and do the car identification, it says that the odometer is 251k.
I did the same on my father's e46 328i and both the odometer and pa soft both read 225k miles.

Is this something I should be worry about?

>Is this something I should be worry about?
I don't know. If the car has 156k then it would have been driven 8.8k miles a year but if the car has 251k then it would have been driven 19.3k miles per year.

Considering 12k in the national average... 8.8k is closer to 12k than 19.3k. So, I would judge the car like this...
>Does it look like it has been driven 8.8k miles per year or 19.3k a year

My dad drives the LS400 at least 120 miles per day 99% of the year, so that's like 40k per year which is true. If it goes likes that for a car with over 100k miles by two year mark the seats should be worn, steering wheel scratched, worn, etc... shift lever worn, pedal worn (maybe)... etc, etc.

>TL;DR
Judge the car. Using rounded number...
>Does it look like a 9k-mile-a-year car or a 20k-mile-a-year car?

Hope that helped! :) Good luck.

A Toyota guy eh? I can relate. For the month I've had my Echo, it drive like a dream. Fun, and throwable. Best month of my life. At least until the Honda gets going again.
Just watch the auto transmissions, they tend to overrev a bit, and the economy transmissions feel like stirring Jell-o. In a fun way.
Best of luck, and if you need any advice, feel free to ask!

some piece of shit GTI that pajeet from extreme exotic very nice used cars tried to sell me, I wanna see just how shitty it really was

does carfax tell you if it's fleet vs rental? i got an autotrader one but it wouldn't say which one

vin is 1G6AR5S37F0126110

>A Toyota guy eh?
Scotty said Toyota only :)

>I can relate. For the month I've had my Echo, it drive like a dream. Fun, and throwable.
I can also relate. I do not, yet, have a drivers license but from the reviews I've seen on the Yaris (both hatchback and sedan) sounds like what you said. I believe the ECHO is the predecessor to the Yaris, too. The Yaris looks comfy, small and spacious, with the dashboard in the center of the dash, Hnnnng! There is an international version of the Yaris/ECHO called Platz which means space or spacious. I'm learning German on Duolingo so, its coming in handy :)

>Best month of my life. At least until the Honda gets going again.
My Father loved his Civic! When I was little in the early 2000s I remember riding in the back of his Civic at night whie listening to 90s Pop because that's what they played at night in El Salvador (My country of origin) and just seeing the moon light up the clouds, oh man, F E E L S !. Of course, being the early 2000s and Fast and Furious was popular, the civic had underglow neon blue lights and yellow fog lights with a car-scent called "Chica Fresa" which is very potent smell widely used by 90s Corolla taxis. El Salvador lived each era 10 years after it was cool, so, everything is ten years behind in terms of car culture. Anyway, since I was little living in the 2000s but experiencing the 90s is what made me appreciate car culture around the world. Cuba has a very interesting one, too!

Yup, the Echo is the Canadian rebadge of the Platz and Vitz, they were all Yaris after that.
As for the Honda, the plan is just to get it working now, the stupid things come later.
Best of luck getting a car, whatever you chose.

Just scroll down about 15% of the page.

>does carfax tell you if it's fleet vs rental?
Sometimes. research.com or vehiclehistory.com does tell you if it was used as a rental.

>don't need to know anything else, just if it was a super abused rental or not
Okay. It was in Texas until 2014, then it moved to Oklahoma. 22,516 mi as of July 2016.

>Story time
My Dad bought an RX300 in 2010 I think and we didn't think about doing a VIN check but we trusted the guy selling it. Anyway, Around Christmas 2016, when I started doing VIN check here on Veeky Forums, we checked the RX300 just to find out it was used as a rental for 100k miles. ~$2000 value instantly lost. The car had 225k but really it was 325k. It was still strong, though, and my dad drove it 100 miles each day without fail.

Going to test drive this car today. Mycarfax.com says the last maintenance inspection was at 130k miles. This thing supposedly has 240k now.

Thanks, man. Good luck to you, too.

>JHMBB61411C011286
Same for me. The estimate might be around the park since 240000 / 16 = 15000 miles per year.
12k is national average so say it has 192k or 200k and the carfax estimate is just too high.

here you can find some resources, specially carcomplaints.com/ or more specifically this one carcomplaints.com/Honda/Prelude/2001/ and find common complaints so you know what to look for when you test drive the car.

Good luck!

super shady dealer, I asked to drive it and they just tossed me the keys and a plate and said go nuts, that was after I noticed the intake was missing so I beat on it for a little and took it back, coolant was pretty much empty too

they use it as a loaner as well

Wow! is almost like they don't want business.

are you going to be around for a few minutes? I just called about a car and I'm waiting to get information back

>are you going to be around for a few minutes?
All day. Pinned tab.

excellent thank you. I hope he gets back to me soon

they had a bentley on the lot, I can only imagine what they're doing to it
