Sorry folks, college student who's scared that he's going to waste $30 to see "This car filled up at Exxon on August 12th", and I'd end up kicking myself for wasting money that could've been better spent on taking a certain female friend out for dinner...

Any chance somebody could do a look-up on the Nissan Altima 1n4dl01d81c212547 for me? Much thanks in advance!

^ :werd: Not completely useless, but not worth the $30.00. A friend did mine for me and most of the info was WRONG.

He said why he didn't want to do that.

His fear was that he would just be wasting money, not the fact that he would have to spend it per se. However if he is planning to buy the car, spending $20 at a local registry is never a waste of cash and will be far more useful (and correct) compared to CarFax.

Whats worse? Getting a free CarFax that is wrong and ending up with a POS or paying $20 to find out it in fact has been written off in Canada?

$20 dinner? Going to Burger King? $20 doesnt go far these days.

If you have a girlfriend that needs a dinner to get her in the sack you are probably better of dumping her, picking up a 12 pack and watching the hockey game at home.... but i digress...

If you only do one lookup, they don't charge you the $30. I got dinged because I let my brother do a lookup on his car too.

It's me jumping in the air and my friend attempting to kick me in the nuts in the process.
Oh and also there are a bunch of hondas in the background.
I think it is pretty self explanitory though :dunno:
