If you are thinking of buying an used car, you can research if the car has had any accidents or issues reported. Just find out the VIN (vehicle identification number) and replace the ##### with it.

this works great

I tried it with my own vehicle vin # and it was correct. great link!:claps:
 
Is there some reason why we have to manually type in the vin through the link? Feels like we're going through some back door entrance or something...

If I had to guess, I would say that koonscollegeparkford is paying for the 'free' report, but that's just a guess. Maybe they have unlimited use :)
 
Any way that we could have spoofee check on this? I really don't want to have us screw this company over by looking up multiple VIN numbers.
 
It's just the way the link is written. Spoofee only automatically parses url's that begin with www. and sometimes http://
 
Very nice find! thanks, this will really come in handy.
 
Omg!!! Holy Cowwww
Thank You Very Omg Damn Much!!
I Was Looking For This Very Badly!!
Thank You Spoofeeeeeee Lova Ya!!
 
Cool. I ran a check on a car that is in my name, that I was planning on having junked. Well now it seems that I have go to the district att. because someone applied for a duplicate title and forged my name and sold the car to someone. Don't want the car, just don't like the idea of someone forging my signature on anything. I guess they are going to feel really silly when they get arrested for this. It is illegal, ya know.
 
It's called a back door, and it is stealing a service that someone else is paying for.

Step 1: Go to your car port, garage, street, wherever your car is located at

Step 2: Grab a sheet of paper and a pen, pencil, lipstick, coal, or whatever you can find to write with.

Step 3: look into your car's driver side dashboard from the outside of your windshield (if you can read backward, reading from inside the car is welcome)

Step 4: Write down the amazingly long string of letters and digits. It will look similar to "201DE8350X0974485" or "JT2XE8180R1957205" as an example

Step 5: Come back to your computer, open your internet explorer, Mac, or Firefox browser

Step 6: type on the browser address bar
http://fostermotors.earthcars.net/cgi-bin/autocheck.cgi dealerid=koonscollegeparkford&vin= (and the number you have written down on your paper)

As an example from the VIN above, it would look like:

http://fostermotors.earthcars.net/cgi-bin/autocheck.cgi dealerid=koonscollegeparkford&vin=201DE8350X0974485


Step 7 (optional): If you still cant figured it out.. nevermind.. move on with the next deal.

You should be able to check your insurance card or registration for the VIN.
 
Free Auto Check like Carfax

This has got to be the best web sight that I have come across thank you so much:bigok:
 
this is cool

all the dealers have unlimited carfax account. we are not screwing up by getting multiple requests.
 
I am all for a good deal, but Autocheck is a paid subscription. By using that link you are stealing from Autocheck. If any paid subscriber to Autocheck (like me) post their email address here, you could go to the Autocheck website and run as many free vin's as you wanted. While it would be free to you... someone pays for it. In this case, looks like someone from Foster Motors in Middlebury, VT wrote a script to auto log into Koons College Park Fords account. This violates Autochecks terms of service and will force Autocheck to put more security up so subscribers like me will have to put in more passwords and security checks just to use our paid service.

Just my 2 cents as a paid subscriber to Autocheck ;)
 
Does this still work? I get invalid VIN # when I try. Either they have caught on to this or I'm not doing something right.
 
They'll find this backdoor sooner or later, and then log the IPs which access it and take action from there.

...actually it serves them right for having no encryption on it. Use it for free while you can!

But yes, this isn't a "deal", it's "stealing", if you care about such a thing.
