VIN DECODER SITE www.compnine.com Is now back up and running and it is free for limited vin checks per day.
THANKS, Tebb!! I almost cried when that site went down! I wonder what happened? Are they charging now?
You can bet your hiney I signed up for this thing. They can charge me $5 a month until I'm a worm's breakfast. I wanna look this sort of stuff up. And now they have CHRYSLER and FORD as well as others. Which means I was able to look up that '93 Dynasty I had in 96-99 and I found out that YES for ABSOLUTE CERTAIN it was an AVIS rental car. The sticker in the trunk for their roadside assistance number was not put there on accident.
Yup....one of the best car sites ever! Tons of details about your car! Steve-E-D....has to have a 17 character VIN.
When I talked to Jason I did not ask why the original site went down. More then likely it was a money issue like everything is these days. I would guess that Jason just got the rights to the site and was testing it out on the web when I found the web site ( see my post in Welcome new members section). I have been told that one time the org site had drawings of the parts like the dealer parts departments work from. After I get out of the hospital next week I will see if Jason can or will tell me anything about his plans in that respect. Access to those drawings would be great. I know when I was restoring my 1941 Oldsmobile 66 I had Olds parts books from 1941 up to 1973 and the drawing were of great help. Silverfox, I'm glad I could stop and wipe away your tears. I was a police officer for 30 years and ran traffic units for 25. Most of my time was spent helping people. I have been retired for a very long time now because health problems, out on a farm, so it feels good helping someone again. That is what I did for so long and that is what I still love to do.
