Default VIN Check?

Can someone help me by running a VIN check on a car for me? If you can PM me, then I'll give you the number to check. I know someone on here (Chibi?) usually runs them for us.

no one here runs them unless they're just checking out the options of the cars and what other cars had them..

are you trying to get the vehicle history report? carfax has them cheap for one time use..

It's not all that accurate though. Just gives you general info that you can pretty much get by looking at the car. Comp Nine is a lot better.

Chibi most certainly does NOT run VINs.

It's illegal to run a carfax for someone else for free. I hope Compnine gives you what you need

I tried compnine for my VIN and it showed two codes about fleet/rental vehicle. Does that mean it used to be a rental? (build for..)
VN9 FLEET PROGRAM - GUARANTEED 100% REPURCHASE
BQ0 FLEET INCENTIVE - NATIONAL CAR RENTAL (C/D/E/F/G/H/J/K/N/M/U/W/Z TRK CKGMLPST)

And one interesting note: My car is Canadian! (I guess)
OSH PLANT CODE-OSHAWA 1 ONT,GM OF CANADA OSHAWA,ONT ASSEMBLY PLANT(OSH)

It could have been built to be part of a fleet program.

And all of our 6th gen Montes are canadian built
