If any of you are dealers / have access is it possible to check a VIN & know; 1. If the color combo is correct? 2. Services that have been done at the dealer (warrantee or majors are my main concern)? 3. Services done at non-dealers? If so & your willing to check a couple for me please drop me an email [email protected]. Thanks! Brad
As I'm looking at multiple cars that are on the market I'd prefer the email rather than broadcasting who's cars I'm looking at....thanks! BW
Brad -- None of the information you seek is encoded in the VIN. (see www.red-headed.com, click to enter the site, click on "Articles" on the left, and at the bottom of that page is a link for "Decoding the VIN")
Only by going thru the Owner's Site can you confirm original colors and equipment component ID numbers...... It's not a speedy process... Lift the carpets or look under trim panels if you suspect a repaint..If it's so darn good you can't tell....don't worry about it, IMO.
