Please can you check out this VIN number? i'm not too sure it is correct as i can't guarantee that the guy i told to check it got it right, but here it is anyway.

43R-00029AS1801IDOT18M4331.

IT'S a honda accord 2001 model. thanx in advance.


Blackman,

This doesn't look like a valid VIN for any car. The VIN is usually made of 17 characters (letters and numbers). Honda usually starts with a '1' or 'J', which signifies that the car was made in the US  or Japan, or 'J' and '4' for some Camry, because they are assembled in Japan or the US.'1','2' (Canada) and '4' is usally used for cars made in North America i.e. US and Canada.Your VIN should be like - JHLRD28461SXXXXXX (where X reps the last 6 digits)

The tenth number or letter signifies the year e.g. 'X' for 1999,'Y' for 2000, '1' for 2001,'2' for 2002,'3' for 2003,'4' for 2004 and so on.

I will suggest that you re-post the VIN so that our gurus can help you. For easy identification of the VIN, you can check the bottom part of the windshield on the driver's side (LHS) or on the doors, where the date and place of manufacture is labeled.

I guessed as much that the number the guy gave me was wrong angry. Anyway i was able to get the correct one. Here it is:-

1HGCG65571A

But this one is just 11 digits. That's what it reads on the net(the company that the ride was bidded from). I hope it's correct.

Blackman,

Unfortunately, I couldn't pull the car full VIN and pictures since the car is already sold.However, fron the RUn and DRive Verification logo that I saw this looks like a good buy.See attched image from the auction, which matches what you posted.I will advise you to rest your mind and enjoy your ride.Your buyer seems to be honest enough. So keep solace in my favorite slogan at work "Not all Nigerians are crooks, most are just hardworkers"

Re: Pls Help Me With This Vin Check by blackmann(m): 11:12am On Jan 30, 2008
Thanx for all your efforts man. U are da bomb. I just wanted to be sure that i was getting my money's worth. For that price that it was bought, i wasn't too sure. I can send you the pixs of the car if you want. The car itself was involved in a rear-end collision, but from the amount of damage that was done, i could see why i got it at such a cheap price. Though it has been fixed properly now(i didn't recognise the car when i got it, to show the quality of the repair job done on it). I'm very sure if it had been repaired before i had bought it, i would have been getting the car for twice the price i got it.

and by the way, it was my younger brother that bought the carwink. thanx a bunch dude.

Another thing. the fans don't start working until i switch on the AC. Someone told me that if i remove the thermostat in the engine, they will work appropriately without my switching on the AC. Is that true? cos i don't want to go givethe car to one re-wire man who will mess it up for me.

The last record reported to CARFAX is from October 2005. While there haven't been any DMV-reported problems, its a good idea to check with the seller, where plausible,  to see if they have any service and repair records before you buy.

Re: Pls Help Me With This Vin Check by shawla: 6:59pm On Jan 31, 2008
thanks man. Pls what do u think about the mileage.
Re: Pls Help Me With This Vin Check by jenju(m): 7:54pm On Jan 31, 2008
shawla:

thanks man. Please what do u think about the mileage.

The mileage on the car was an average of 46,000miles/year from 2004 - 2007. Thats quite high. The average annual mileage on cars in the US is about 15,000. 46,000miles in a year indicates that this car was probably used by a travelling salesman and most of the mileage was highway mileage. Highway mileage is not as bad on cars as driving them within the city. I however will be surprised if one can get another 100,000 miles on this car.
Re: Pls Help Me With This Vin Check by shawla: 8:03pm On Jan 31, 2008
thanks again. what potential problems do u see with this high mileage
Re: Pls Help Me With This Vin Check by sultaan(m): 8:13pm On Jan 31, 2008
@233k walk away from the truck, or save for a new engine+ transmission very soon

That is ~370 000 km right there.Look at the oldest car you can find on the road and see if it has that much mileage on it.
