its not accepting my VIN. It says it has to be 17 characters long, and while I know thats the standard, both the plate on the door and his registration say F25YRB44476 and always have. Should I put X's or 0's at the end or something? Or would that immediately change the VIN to a non-existant vehichles?



>>>>

Arrrg, nevermind. I guess the official VIN they're looking for wasn't used till '81. Poopy. '81?! Those crazy whippersnappers an' their 17 digit VIN numbers! Why back in Blues day you had 11 digit VINs and we were greatfull for 'em! *Grumbles*

Thanks for the site! I've been wanting to get a carfax on mine for awhile but have been too cheap to pay.

if you want to get more than one, all you have to do is this:

Go to Tools | Internet Options and click Delete Cookies.

This will reset how many times your allowed to run a report.

I entered my Vin under a phony e-mail address and it came back with no problems. Said the last title transfer was in May, 2003 and that's when I bought it.

If they have your VIN and access to your title, don't they know who you are? I don't think the phony e-mail is going to slow them down much when they have your name and address right on the title.

Anyways, thanks mustangsvt

I don't think they have access to the actual title, just the records that say one was issued.

I did it yesterday with a car I found on Carpoint and my Civic. My 1977 F-250 is too old. I wanted to do it with the Voyager I just bought for the engine but I went there today and it said, "Sorry, the promotion you are looking for has expired". Oh well
