Time for a new one.

First on a VINbro thread
Carry on, I'm just standing here.
>>13811994
Hahaha congratulations, anon!
>>13812000
Why thank you kind sir, I would have posted VINs but you helped me out in the last thread. I was the one looking at the C5 Corvette. Also, how is your truck? Any issues?
>>13812028
Well if you get anymore VINs, send 'em my way.
The truck is great; loving it. I spent a good sum on it, so there are no problems that need addressing right now. I just did the first oil change on it today.
in cased you missed my witty remark and picture of cute girls on the on the closed thread:
3N1CB51D62L655195 thanks vinmuchacho
>>13812041
I was actually just about to respond, but I may as well post it here instead.

vinbro this nissan stanza is really killing me you killed me vinbro you killed me
>>13812055
But I didn't do anything bad. All I did was run a report and suggest you ask for advice.
>somehow, now I have manslaughter on my plate
jm1na3512n1303935
Thank you in advance, VINbro.
>>13812049
yes beauty center of mass very clearly on the right side of the picture.
>>13812039
Do you plan to take it offloading? Or just for hauling stuff?
>>13812070
No sweat.
Not seeing any issues here.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/6kcj
>>13812072
>beauty center of mass
lol
But yes. She fine. The other...not so much.
>>13812078
I've never done offroading, but part of why I got a truck was to try it out. Not many places around me (North NJ) but I'll see what I can do. But that's for the future at some point. For now I learning the truck, enjoying it and checking on maintenance.
But I did already have a bunch of stuff in the bed the other day. Pretty neat to already use the truck aspect of my new vehicle, since it's my first pickup.
>>13812087
Nice, I'm a Texasanon myself, so I have plenty of places to Off-road. I just use my friends Jeep Wrangler, 2001 I think.
>>13812099
Oh very cool. A Wrangler down there in the Southland. I bet that's fun. Wish I didn't live in the worst state in the country.
The only mentionable area I've heard of in NJ is the Pine Barrens. Nothing crazy, but it's something. Otherwise, local fields and small, forgotten paths.
I do hear there's some nice 4x4 park in PA. I might check that out some day. But I have no buddy to go with me in case I get stuck or something, so I'd be a bit leery.
>>13812121
No offense, but NJ is pretty bad. I hear it's a pain in the ass to own any decent guns.
>>13812148
This state is awful. The most idiotic laws (such as 19 to buy tobacco) and so many of them. Also, taxes are absurd - especially here in Morris County. One of the most expensive counties in the country, I believe.
Yeah NJ is not a gun-friendly state. The process to get even a rifle or shotgun is a bother and takes forever. Then even longer for a handgun. And no type of carry is allowed unless mandated by your job (or you're an ex-cop).
The only thing I can say in favor of this state is good pizza. Oh and it's got a lot of good areas to raise families I suppose.
>>13812178
Yeah, if you ever do consider moving, I would say Texas us bretty gud. People like to hate on it with
>muh illegal Mexicans
But it's not really an issue, unless you live on the border
>>13812199
The only issue I can think of with Texas is the heat. As the year go by, I grow increasingly bothered by hot weather. I prefer a bit cooler. Right now is best. Not only is Autumn beautiful here, but it has the best weather; chilly but not cold.
My uncle lives in Texas though, so I'd at least still have family there.
>>13812211
It can suck during the summer, but you get used to it. It's actually only 56 right now. In the summer, it is usually 90, but can go to 100.
>>13812223
Hell, that doesn't even sound SO much hotter than here. I've seen 100 a few times here. But it typically tops at high 80s, low 90s. Nominal Summer temperature are more like upper 70s/low 80s.
56 sounds quite nice. Basically perfect.
1ftef14h9rna768892
>>13812473
Both AutoCheck and Carfax are reporting 0 records for this one. Either there's a typo, and it's coming up as an ultimately unused, but valid VIN or it's been cleansed/wiped/cleared/illegally erased.
The latter is not likely.
If it's something else, I can't say.
>>13812211
Hot and nothing to do. Unless you live in Austin and like going to clubs etc. It's hours to get anywhere
>>13812223
>it is usually 90, but can go to 100
When I lived there I think we had almost 100 days above 100 degrees in a row, soooo that's wrong.
>>13812491
Yup can't read

brown specks on the upholstery + rusted wheels + ricetastic touchscreen stereo = really bad signs, right?
>>13812633
>That wheel rust
Fuuuuuuck, if the wheels are that bad imagine how bad the chassis must be.
>>13812656
can just parking next to a beach really do this to a car? sorry vinbro plz ignore this one; it isn't worthy
>>13812525
Clubs are the farthest things from my interests. Looks like I can check Austin off the list.
>almost 100 days above 100 degrees in a row
I'd rather die.
>>13812606
Looks like you're graduated! This one's right. Congratulations on the newfound reading ability.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/28v3
>>13812633
>>13812681
Yeah, beaches are killer. In a sense, they're worse than snow belt states because while it's not as corrosive as brine, salty sea air is constantly there. Shit's no good for cars.
>>13812748
He must live in El Paso or some shit, that's really damn hot. It's cooler here in Austin.
>>13812633
>>13812681
>>13812748
Ha. I decided to run it anyway. The seller is a lying fuck. Clean title, eh? Nope. As I'm sure is no surprise, it's been flagged as having frame damage.
>>13812760
>El Paso
Like the salsa! I do love me some salsa. But while I like my salsa hot, I do NOT like my place of residence that way.
>>13812776
Yeah, El Paso is also overrun with Mexicans
>>13812783
Stupid fucking hot AND filled with Mexicans? No thank you. I'd rather take Austin, even with its urban attractions.
>>13812812
Austin is great. The hills are beautiful.
>>13812825
Maybe I'll check it out sometime, especially if I happen to visit my uncle one day. I don't know where he lives, but for all I know it could be Austin.
>>13812848
Yeah, really anywhere is great if it meets these three conditions:
1: Be in Texas
2: NOT be on the Border (Rio Grande)
3: NOT be Houston (ugly polluted expensive concrete piece of shit city where the only concern is oil)
>>13812864
Marble Falls, it is.
JF1ZCAC18D2611760
Thankw vin bro!
>>13812901
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/y30c
>>13812900
I like Marble Falls! Austin is a bit far, assuming you need something from a city. I love about 30 minutes from Marble Falls, and its really pretty.
>>13812912
Oh wow, what an odd coincidence. I pick a random place like Marble Falls, and you know it.
Years ago (2007?) I used to talk to a girl from Marble Falls. Man, she was cool/cute. And that accent!
>>13812942
Accent? I guess I don't notice it...do we really have an accent?
>>13812961
I love when people say that. My Australian friend says it, too.
Yes, you mostly certainly do. Texan accents tend to be more identifiable (along with, say, Louisianan) among Southern accents. Texans tend to have a smoother, "friendlier" accent. And I dunno what the average girl down there sounds like, but if they sound like that girl, I gotta head down there.
>>13812974
Another plus, as least in Austin, the new fad for chicks is the yoga pants that show off your ass.
WBABG1325VET03256
Thanks!
>>13812987
Also, the food is great. Texmex is different, but amazing. I never thought later in life I would enjoy "Texas Sized" items but goddamn its tasty
>>13812987
Yeah's taken off quite a bit around here, too. I figure it's just about ubiquitous across the country. While obviously nice to look at, I've gotten tired of seeing so many girls dressing more and more like a skank; showing as much of their body as they can. It's offputting, ultimately.
>but damn does it look good
>>13813004
Food is one of the reasons I wanna visit Texas. I can't wait to have some good as Texan food.
>>13812999

>>13813019
Another thing (I feel like a salesman) Texas has money. The economy is great, public facilities are nice, everyone makes good money. Pic related is from a GAS STATION (with clean bathrooms).
>>13811979
So Vinbro, remember that I Mercedes that hit me with no insurance and you checked his info?
I wanted to see if my shit had shown up about 3 weeks ago but it didn't.
Well guess what... They hit me again. I swear DFW is full of fucking retarded drivers.
>>13813037
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/nw4v
>>13813050
You sound like a salesman, or a travel agent of some sort. Maybe give it a try, eh?
That's one bumpin' gas station. I'd be there erryday. I mean, look at that otter.
Oh also, NJ is one of 2 states in which we cannot legally pump out own gas, and have attendants. While I DO like how many jobs this makes (seriously, A LOT), I do NOT like that it's compulsory. I would like to have the option of doing it myself or letting the attendant do it.
I do sometimes anyway, if it's busy as fuck.
>>13813086
Wait. The SAME guy hit you again?
>>13813050
Oh shit nigger.
>dem 30+ sparkly clean toilets
>dat fudge
>dat jerky
>dem ~40-50 pumps
Truly the GOAT gas station. Used to love going there when going to Houston from CStat
>>13813105
Lol no my bad, I meant some other dumb asshole.
It's my second accident in such a short time. Shits gay, but luckily I had a dashcam both times.
Do you mind checking the mercs VIN again though? I'd love to see if it got repo'd
WDDGJ4HB1CF802928
>>13813105
Can't pump your own gas? WHAT?! Thats crazy man...shouldn't be allowed.
>>13813108
That place is THAT fucking big? That's absurd. I've never heard of anything that big, except MAYBE at rest stops off highways.
>>13813128
Oh oh okay. Not sure if that makes it better or worse, though.
Sounds rough. Accidents blow dick. Has the dashcam worked in your favour?
Nothing. I am guessing that, for whatever reason, the Merc's accident was not reported to AutoCheck. A delay this long is absurd. Any delays are rarely ever more than a week, mostly a day or two. The titling for the truck I just purchased went on record a day after.
>>13813149
I know, I know. It's stupid as hell. And NJ folk have a habit of forgetting this when traveling, so someone will pull up to a pump and just shit there like an asshole until they remember they gotta do it themself.
>>13813172
>>13813172
Yeah it's that big, "everything's bigger in Texas". Here's a picture for reference.
>>13813192
That looks like a dramatization, like something from a movie. Wow. Shit really is bigger in Texas. I'd never get any love for my little Tacoma...
>>13813172
Yeah the one 30 mins out of Houston is that big.
Also I checked my car a few weeks ago and it also hadn't shown up yet either. I'm going to check at the end on this year, and that'll be about 6 months. Hopefully they'll both be reported by then
>>13813206
All trucks welcome in Texas. Here's a pic of the inside, I'll try to find one of the bathrooms (they're really clean).
>>13813209
There are a LOT of Bucees that big. The one I usually frequent is Bastrop. Also, you're in Houston? That's gotta suck..
>>13813209
If now, I would just assume that AutoCheck never got the memo. It's rare, but sometimes AC will get something and CF won't and vice-versa. You could always buy a 5 VIN pass from CF for $50, so you can run your car and the Merc. And still have 3 left for other stuff. Much better deal, IMO, than the $40 for 1.
>>13813221
Good to hear. I just picked it up Tuesday, so I wouldn't want people hating it already...
Wow, that's like a supermarket. How odd.
>>13813233
Found some bathroom shots. This is inside a "stall", well actually its a separate room for each " stall and there are about 30 stalls per bathroom.
>>13813229
>you're in Houston?
Lol no. Dallas. I've only seen 2 Bucees, and the one I saw was that huge one. I would pass by there from college station on my way to Houston, Galveston, or any of those cities.
>>13813233
It must be rare especially since both of our cars haven't showed up.
I don't care if it does or doesn't, I just wanted to see if it had by now. I'm not planning to sell my baby ever anyways
>>13813247
Yeah the separate room toilet was awesome. I could shit the loudest possible and feel like at home
>>13813233
Here's a panorama of the urinals.
>>13813247
>>13813252
Bruh I'm in Austin there are Bucees everywhere, how have you only seen 2? Do you try to avoid them?
>>13813260
>>13813247
>>13813233
And here are some sinks
>>13813233
Also, Texas has no state income tax, and free enterprise. How do you think people can afford to build these?
>>13813269
You do know they're not in north Texas right? We JUST got one, but it's on the NE corner of DFW. I'm not even sure it's opened yet.
I rarely go down 45 to that ratchet town, and Austin I haven't been since I was young
>>13813233
Plus, Texas has Blue Bell. The best and oddly cheap ice cream that just went out of business so a ton of angry Texas billionaires pumped it full of money, so we have t back again. I love Blue Bell.
>>13813247
>>13813260
>>13813279
What the fuck! This place is so cool. I'd be there every day. I definitely gotta visit, if only to go to Bucees...
>>13813252
I'd bank on it not showing up. I mean, if anything you'd be lucky. A clean record is better. Just so long as you open up and be honest about it, should you ever sell it. Gotta be a good seller, always.
>>13813301
Texas is sounding better and better with every post.
>>13813317
Never heard of it, but I am always down to try ice cream. But you'd be hard-pressed to find better ice cream joints than in Ohio. I was visiting a friend in Westerville (just outside Columbus) and holy fuck their ice cream is top-notch.
Literal social retard who lives in a cornfield here. Dad just died and I basically had my license to drive him around. A lot of his stuff is being repossessed and I gotta get my own ride. It needs minimal offroad capabilities. This thing is withing walking distance and in my price range. I need a vehicle fast as there are basically emergency tier things around my property that need solved.
What kind of questions do I ask when I call? Do you usually have the seller drive the vehicle to your house? Is it true that offering cash generally allows you to negotiate lower price? I also know nothing about insurance, is it a bad idea to just get minimum coverage?
https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/5273734506.html
Oh so I thought I'd make a thread-relevant post. After titling/registering my truck, and seeing my mileage reporting show on the vehicle history report, It occurred to me just how easy it is to lie about mileage and make it look lower. Then you could roll it back and no one would ever know. Of course, some states have much different reporting practices, I'm sure. Also, I think certain shop work, presumably dealer work mostly, would report it and fuck it up. But if you do your own work....scary stuff.
>>13813311
What?! Not in North Texas? That's gotta be a crime..
>>13813321
Ok, let me think, ummm, land. Houses and land are STILL cheap because Texas is so damn big. For reference, how much would you pay for a 2000sqft house in your town?
And another: Culture. If you didn't know, Texas used to be its own country, and whenever you tell someone you're Texan, they never have to ask where that is.. We have the Alamo, and a common culture.... It's odd seeing a white lady and some old Mexican dude have so much in common. Also, cheap beer and cowboys. That's a good one, I like Cowboys.
>>13813331
Blue Bell might not be the best by taste, but then you realize it's really really cheap and all the sudden nothing beats it.
License Plate: 6PWC257
State: California
Make: Saturn
Model: Ion Redline
Title Status: Salvage
Just want to know what happened to it. I need a beater car and this is pretty cheap.
>>13813337
First off, don't call yourself a retard. By your typing, you're clearly not.
Second, it's a shame about your father. My condolences, anon.
Typical questions are ones like these.
What's the VIN? (mention wanting to run a report, as it may ease their worry about why you want it)
When was the timing belt done? (assuming it doesn't have a chain)
Does the 4WD work properly?
Does it pass inspection?
What big issues will need to be addressed? (out of all the questions, ones like this will be most likely to either get a lie or just limited info)
Basically, anything you think matters.
Rarely will a seller drive it to you. Nearly always, you go to the seller.
Cash tends to be preferred, due to its low risk (checks can be bogus, unless cashier/bank check) and it's convincing seeing lots of money in person.
It's not a bad idea to get minimum insurance, no. There are benefits to getting more of course. If you can afford it, comprehensive is nice since it covers things like animal damage, weather and other natural things. Collision is stupid fucking expensive; don't even consider it.
Check em
2T1BY32E25C346107
>>13813364
I'd say between $250,000 and $350,000. Not up on home stuff, so I can't speak guarantees.
Texas does sound p cool bruh
Taste matters, but so does price. If it's good ice cream for cheap, I can say okay over great ice cream for more.
>>13813384
No record of the damage, though it says it was a possible total loss. Could have been bad, maybe not. Cheap cars total easier, due to low value but still average repair costs.
Also, 1 failed emissions in 2013.

>>13813321
I thought of more. I'm currently in San Antonio and a guy riding horseback just passed me. Texans get the ability to brag about their state, and be able to back it up. Texas continues to grow economically due to cheap labor from Mexico.
>>13813466
$350000? Damn, in Texas you could get a 4bed 2bath, 2500sqft with a half acre yard and a garage to boot for $350000. That's expensive.
>>13813469
NJ IS BEST BECAUSE WE'RE COOL!!! GET OVER IT, TEXFAG!!!
>>13813485
Sounds nice. No surprise, though. I am in Morris County, and in a pretty wealthy town (boy do I not fit in here...) so thing are bound to be expensive. And property taxes are very high. 8K-12K is not uncommon.
>>13813515
8-12k WHAT? Bruh I pay 3k...gawd. Yeah, I guess NJ is cool, but what really sold Texas for me is the Southern Hospitality. I went to the east coast, and I was confused. I was like ,"where are the tip jars?" And every one was like, the what? Giving people money is common practice in Texas. Also, when you're at the grocery store, in the east coast they're just silent, like zombies, its scary. I don't wanna a zombie touching all my food. In Texas you might have a conversation about the recent football game, or maybe they'll give you a discount because your hair is nice (yes this happens). The small talk is great. Everyone on the east coast is withdrawn, I love the openness of a Texan. Also, gun laws, gun laws here are Alaska tier. Don't get me wrong, Texas has its fair share of lunatics (go to YouTube and type in Adam Reposa lawyer commercial) but overall is the best state. "Everything's bigger in Texas, and bigger = better"
>>13813580
3K. Sounds amazing. I don't pay property taxes, since I just rent a room but I hope I'm well out of NJ when that day comes.
Tip jars are more common here at smaller businesses. Otherwise you don't really see them. And some places will fill it daily while others are always empty. It's odd.
Yeah too many people seem to be afraid to talk to each other. I can't stand it. I like when someone strikes up a conversation with me, or I try and they accept. It makes whatever you're doing better/go faster. I don't understand why people are so cold here so often.
TEXAS IS GOAT STATE RAH RAH GO TEXAS
>>13813613
Welp, I gotta run. Got Texan things to do. Catchya later man, I hope to hear you move to Texas one day :)
>>13813640
Haha who knows. I can't stay in NJ forever. Or if I do, I might commit sudoku.

You're very welcome. I like seeing people trying to better their situation and help themselves. I am more than happy to lend a hand if I can.
There was a typo, and I was able to get 4 different possible matches. This one looked the closest, and it's in Ohio.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/09pk
If it doesn't appear to be it, either ask the seller for the correct VIN or I can just run some of the other ones.
Hi VINbro! I just purchased a car a few weeks ago (probably would've been useful to have a carfax then but oh well). I don't have the VIN on-hand, but it's registered in NH plate number 3918296.
Thanks so much!
JHMEH6263PS012885
it's a 1993 Honda Del Sol i picked up for parts, i know it's been in a front end collision, but im curious to see if a rear end collision is reported, as i've found shit under the rear bumper that makes me suspicious...
>>13817138
Not coming up. The report should show your purchase by now (well, titling, but w/e) though I'm not sure about delays when it comes to plate lookups.
>>13817146
Nothing about rear end. In fact, no accidents/damage at all. Just showing a salvage title.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/9yqw

Hey VINbro, how long have you been doing these threads for? Seems like a person would get burned out quick from autists spamming them with VINs.
Thanks for enabling me.
>>13817541
I've been doing them regularly for about 7 months now. From my limited knowledge of them prior, it seems there really wasn't anyone who dedicated time just to this. It was more that those who had happened to buy a subscription or work for a dealer would do them occasionally. So you may be right, about people getting burned out with all the requests. And there are a lot of them. I average between 20 and 25 a day (weighted average/mean).

>>13820239
No, I really don't know. /o/ constantly praises old Toyota's for their reliability but I'm personally wary about buying a 20 year old car with that much mileage.
If it drives well and fits your budget why not I guess?

>>13820239
>Saturn Ion
Well no shit, the Saturn brand was just a dumping ground for GM's shit cars.
Not sure what your budget is but look at Ford Focus years 2003 - 2011. They're a bit boring but hilariously reliable and worst comes to worst, parts are very cheap.
I've also had good luck with Taurus of the same year. If I didn't need an SUV for reasons I would jump on one of those.
>>13820434
this is the info i'm going off of: the 2.0 engine in the saturn and the manual are bulletproof.
anything that isn't the ecotech or duratech engine in the ford focus is a ticking time bomb
>>13820535
>anything that isn't the ecotech or duratech engine in the ford focus is a ticking time bomb
And they are correct. Especially the duratec is pretty damn reliable.
Luckily they aren't hard to find.
My brother just bought a first gen cummins, but apparently the cab has been swapped or something, and the vin plate looks like it's been changed. We're wondering if the previous owner just swapped the tags over or so,etching. Could you help us out? Thanks!

Ohh you haha.
Yeah I've felt the same way. A few times I was looking at a truck and it was pretty good overall (I mean, I was running the VIN out of interest, so clearly) but there was something about it I wasn't so sure about. I would feel regret if I just let it slip away but I was hoping for a bad report so I can just say no.
This one looks way better.

I don't know much about them, really. But they've become increasingly popular in recent years. I expect their value to go up a bit. So $3200 doesn't sound bad, especially with that mileage. You could probably get it for $3K.

Clean title and no damage reports, but says there was body service performed. My first thought it some damage to the body, which is a little concerning.

Interesting- minor accident was mildly unexpected. I know there's an area on the rear bumper where all the paint is chipped off, but it doesn't look pushed in or anything

It could have been a minor bump that only swapped paint. It doesn't sound like it's anything, to me.

Why the most recent mileage record was not counted as rollback, I don't know. It still wouldn't be in sequence if it were changed to 226K from 126K. Either way, if the mileage in the car doesn't show it in the 200Ks, then whatever it is, it's no issue.

Through both occasional asking and offering, anons have contributed a little here and there. It may take a while sometimes (even a whole other subscription period) but I have managed to get my costs covered by those kind anons in the long run.
As for the service itself, AutoCheck has a very reasonably priced service. After taxes, about $48/month for unlimited reports by VIN or plate.

Oh yeah that other one looks way better. Definitely worth checking out.
>>13833155
I most certainly can.
I will bro my best! But I'm not much of a "bro", so I offer no guarantees of fitted caps and shows of Fireball every weekend.

I'll still lurk and post some so you will see me around. And I may return to VIN checking some day. I quite like it.

Yeah, basically. The potential max cost of penalty is well more than 5x my annual income. I doubt I'd ever see any penalties at all, but sanity's sake beckons. While it's defendably not commercial use, Experian is big and I don't need big guys giving me issues.
Yeah I've thought about that. The only issue there is that I would also need to use a fake name and address. Not that it's such an issue, but I'm not fond of lying about identity. Though it's not entirely out the window of consideration.
>>13833224
It should, yes.
>>13833228
That's why I do what I do. Looks like another victory for the VIN thread.
>>13833467
>Oh yeah that other one looks way better. Definitely worth checking out.
Only problem it's that is in Tijuana. Never crossed a car that was still under someone else's name before. the CBP can be kind of weird. Sometimes they'll let cars with expired tags through, other times they'll nitpick you on the carpeting.

This has some kind of warning on lien record or something, is that current or was it just on loan at one point?
If you wouldn't mind:
4S3BK4356T7302700
>>13833510
Ahh. Not so simple, it would seem. I guess it might still be worth it if the truck is good enough.
If there was ever a lien, it shows that warning. The most recent title record does not show a lien, so it should be clear.
>>13833512
Not at all; glad to.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/ck1p
>>13833618
>Ahh. Not so simple, it would seem.
Just a pain explaining to the CBP is all. Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as insurance, bill of sale, etc has been properly done.
I still need to cross the car to do an emissions test which is the real stickler. We'll see if the car has any issues once I go see it.
A lot of cheap CA, AZ, TX cars to be had in Tijuana if you are willing to go to the hassle. MX nationals aren't supposed to drive USA plated cars, many do of course, but there's always the danger it'll be confiscated. Most just opt to sell the cars on the cheap if they can't cross back into the USA.
>>13833618
Awesome, thank you, sir!

It's a manual but it's cheaper than the other manual on offer so I feel like it might be a good offer.
>>13833652
Anyway, one more:
6HSY876
State: California
Should be a 2003 Explorer. I suspect an accident but I couldn't tell from looking it at it.
I'm going to have to get an autocheck subscription at this rate.
Would love your help Vinbro!

Can you at least do beanie and a 6 pack of keystone light? That's what the bros here seem to do
Jhmcg65562c001380
$3300 for a 2001 manual accord w/ 123k miles?

That's about right. Maybe offer him a cool $3k. Enjoy your rice tax.

You know your shit. I know not a damn thing about that car market. Good thing I'm not looking to buy from Tijuana, right?
If I weren't stopping this VIN checking, I'd say don't bother. But since I am, if you're going to be checking out more than just a few more (especially if you don't plan on buying, say, this week) then it may be worth it. $48 and you get 30 days of unlimited reports. It's not a bad deal if you plan on checking a lot.
Yeah, this's got an accident on record, as well as a salvage title.

Is that a bad thing/are you not looking for a manual? It makes a bit of difference, especially if it's a DD.

And I would love to help. Works out.

>>13833871
Well my dad's a fan of Keystone Light, so I can level with you there. The beanie's a no-go. I've got stretched ears. Does that help my bro status?
>>13833973
No issues with this one. Just 2 airbag recalls. Seems solid overall. You could probably get it for $3K, as the other anon said. If not, $3100 for sure.

>>13834394
3 owners and 2 accidents.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/2m8y
>>13834522
3 accidents, and all in the same town.
https://www.diigo.com/item/image/5a4au/hceu
>>13834562
Any way of knowing what those accidents were?
>>13834616
There is one method I have thought of, but no one has mentioned to me if they've tried it.
If an accident has a case# (most do), bring that case number to the local police station where the accident occurred and say you are interested in buying the car, and would like any info on the accident that you're allowed to have. I see no reason essential, non-personal info should be off limits.
>>13834562
>Yeah, this's got an accident on record, as well as a salvage title.
Shocking, did a good job fixing it, might be still worth it if I can lower their price rock bottom.
>Good thing I'm not looking to buy from Tijuana, right?
Lot of cheap Taco's over there last time I checked.
>>13834651
Gotcha. Good idea. Also as it seems like you run a lot of VIN's, how does that report look overall to you? I really want to buy it, just worried about the fact that it was a northern car and has 2 accidents.
>>13834693
Price is the only factor that truly matters. If the condition is reflected in the price, it's always worth it (at least from a price standpoint).
Ah, you remembered what I want. Very cool. Well in case you hadn't heard, I did finally buy one, last Tuesday. Lovin' it, man.
>>13834713
Sorry, could you specify with vehicle was the one I ran for you?
>>13834726
2004 Jaguar x-type. Yes I know "its a jag, its gonna fall apart". But I've done my research
>>13834726
>Ah, you remembered what I want. Very cool. Well in case you hadn't heard, I did finally buy one, last Tuesday. Lovin' it, man.
Ahaha, good man. Hope you like it. Personally I run around with a God tier Hilux when I'm in TJ.
I still don't understand why Mexishits get the Hilux and the American Empire doesn't.
>>13834743
Northern car shouldn't make too much of a difference. If you can get a PPI beforehand or examine it yourself, make sure it has no rust. If it's started to spread anywhere, I can almost guarantee it's not the only spot of rust on the car
>>13834743
Historical reliability isn't all there is. A friend of mine's got a Jag and I don't recall him mentioning constant breakdowns.
Looking at the report, it's not all that bad outside of the accidents. The ownership count is a little high for its age, but nothing absurd. The mileage is no issue, and it has a clean title that has no lien on it.
The accidents are both reported as left side ones, so if you go to look at it, pay extra close attention to that side. Obviously, the whole care should be heavily inspected, as with any used car, but the left side likely has more to show. If you can afford it/are okay with paying for it, taking the car to a mechanic for inspection is not a bad idea. 2 accidents, while potentially not a deal breaker, is concerning.
Also, there are car inspection services that are on-the-spot ones that come to you. Useful if you can't get a quick appointment at a shop or the owner doesn't want you to.
It being in the North can go either way. Sure, there is a greater chance of rust, but if you see no rust (do look hard, though), it's probably held up throughout and therefore its Northerly residence means very little.
>>13834761
I would love to test out a diesel Hilux. I bet that shit so fun. For now, my Taco is doing fantastically for me. Excellent purchase.
I have no idea. Everyone but USA/Canada gets the Hilux. While I do love Tacomas, it sucks that we only get it. At least give a diesel option.
>>13834562
Can't say I've had keystone so I guess I might be disqualified from bromanship. My ears are almost a little too big for beanies so I don't usually wear them. Bros come in all flavors senpai
>>13834873
Well I'll say I'm a bro then. I mean. I AM VINbro, after all...
Hey Vin
I believe I've ran this number before, but I want to double check it. The car is really clean and I want to get that condom protection before I make a move.
1GBN52P7TR410307
Thanks again m8, and take this picture of what it is.
>>13834947
I quite like it. Looks comfy. Would drive.
The VIN is one character too short. It's gotta be 17 long.

Currently has a reconstructed salvage title. Since it says it was scrapped, not totaled in an accident, it has no damage record.

>>13834562
It's not that I'm not looking for a manual, but my opportunity to learn to drive one slipped first when my dad sold his old F-150, and then when he had his stroke and developed aphasia.
Basically, I'd have to self teach to drive it.
>>13835121
Well for what it's worth, here's how I learned. I asked my landlady if I could use her vehicle to learn, and she said sure. We got into the car and she told me the basics (which I already was aware of, but a refresher isn't bad). A bit of trouble getting going at first (and even to this day, I am still a little low on throttle, in fear of burning the clutch too much, but w/e it's getting better) but got it going after maybe 10 minutes. Drove down to the store, and back home. Good drive, since it involved straights, as well as up and down hills. Total of MAYBE 25 minutes driving. That was it. I drove to work that night. It was rough for the first few weeks, with lots of stalls at stop signs and such (people are surprisingly patient with this though) but easier than expected.
What I'm trying to say is just get it and learn. I basically taught myself (and researched more advanced things) and I do just fine now. Though this truck is SO much different from my landlady's vehicle. Bite point, throttle sensitivity, power difference, etc...
I've rambled enough. If the truck is good, don't let manual disuade you Use the internet to your advantage as well.
