car vin number?

the_ramone

im selling my car and someone ask for the vin number.. is it safe to give out my car vin number?

Answer
Completely safe. Anyone walking past your car can see it. There is nothing bad that can be done with this information. It's like your license plate number, public info. The person probably wants to know the VIN # so that they can check it's history on Carfax or somthing.

can i buy software that GIVES ME INFORMATION FOR CARS BY USING VIN NUMBER?

Answer
I seriously doubt it. To get an accurate answer go to a new dealer's parts counter and ask your question. The VIN # has very secure information on it. #1. With a VIN # You could walk into any dealership that sells that vehicle they could supply every bit of info on the car including key codes. You have to prove your the owner of a VIN before you get anything. The info is stored on a Ford, Chevrolet computer program. You don't find these dealer factory programs at Staples or Tiger Direct.

Is there a way to find the chassis number of a vehicle from the VIN?

Are VIN and chassis number the same thing? If they are different, is there way to find that information (chass #) from VIN? If my VIN of Lexus SC400 is JT8CH32Y1X1002868, CAN anyone tell me the chassis number? As far as I know, the last 6 digit of VIN is unique, but the chassis number could be common to a type or model of a car.

Answer
The last set of six numbers on a VIN refers to the sequential number of production, ie xxxxxxxxxxx100001 will be the first production where this # xxxxxxxxxxx109271 will be the 9271th produced. Isn't the Lexus SC400 a unibody? If so then it would have what is called a Subframe. Typically, on the passenger cabin there will be a number stamp on the newer vehicles.

Possible to get a copy of car title in a different state?

Bob

I'm trying to salvage my car (as it no longer run) and need a copy of my car's title. The vehicle is registered in a different state that I am in, is it still possible to get a copy of that title at my local DMV, provide I have all the required information (ID, ownership, VIN, plate number)?
Is it possible to obtain said car title in the same day?

Answer
No and No. The only place you can get a copy of your car's title is from the motor vehicle department in the state where the title is recorded. Even if you were to travel there and submit a request for a copy in person, you won't get it the same day. It takes 2-3 weeks for the system to generate and mail out a copy of a lost title.
