All,
I've been doing a lot of searching in old threads (honest Andy!). But I'm not finding any details. I'm looking to find some history of my car. I believe it was a Palm Springs car for most of its life, and I emailed a couple current dealers in the area, asking if they had any records for the VIN number... but no luck I was hoping there was a way to trace back to which dealer originally sold the car, or possibly find some history or records for the car. (When I bought the car, there was no maintenance book, and the history story was not able to be verified). I have the original Cali Blue Plates, but not sure if they provide any value to getting some history for the car. Do any of you Cali guys have any tricks to find some history via the VIN or Blue Plate? Turk |

Well, after looking at some recent COA's online, and seeing what the contain, and reading about some of the mistakes, I'm wavering on getting one. I'll probably get one at some point, since I have so little documentation for the car as it is, it will be worth something if I ever sell it on. If you buy one, make sure they give you a Satisfaction or Money Back guarentee - I did that on my last one. It came back with the wrong interior code. They would not correct it even though I proved what I had. I made a copy of the CoA, sent the original back & my money was returned. Porsche had that info once upon a time. . . when a new car was purchased, the dealer submitted the Warranty Registration Card to Porsche, it included the dealers stamp and dealership code numberl. . . here is a blank one. . it came as part of the Maintenance Log Book I believe it is now illegal for them to give out Dealer, Original Owner, etc info |
