Want to check your cars history for free?
Little trick someone posted on r3v.
Google
dealer autocheck inurl:vin
Look for a recent history report from a dealership
Replace the vin at the end of the url with yours and hit enter
Viola.
Example
http://www.lincolndealer.com/CPO/Aut...KE57Y21U261632
Replace the last 17 digits with your vin #

Try finding a new dealer check, that one might be expired if you used the one I posted
