VIN # check website
« on: October 02, 2012, 07:14:29 pm »
Just figured I'd post a link to a website where you can check VIN #'s before purchasing (or selling!) a bike.... It's a free check that will tell you if the bike has been reported stolen... other websites provide more details but you usually have to pay... just a quick free check to be sure something isn't hot....

Thinking of moving this topic to classifieds for purchasing quadracers?

This doesn't always work.. I ran a frame number through this once and nothing came back on it so i bought it, Had it sitting in the shop starting a build on it had the DNR officer come over to run the numbers to get a title and what do you know it came back stolen when the officer ran the numbers.

Not sure how well this works either.
I have a 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe that was stolen from me a while back, and I bought what was left back from the insurance company just because of the back window alone.  So, I know it has a stolen history and it is now on a Total loss/Salvage title.

Its VIN came back on this site as clean.  No theft record and no loss record.

So, not sure on its accuracy.

I'd say the best bet is to call the local dnr or cop shop with the vin in question and have them run it
