How do you trace a vin?

You can use www.carfax.com they charge $15 for one time or they will let you join for a month and do as many as you want in a month I think its $30. Carfax doesnt really show everything with the vin, it does pull all reported info on the vin and they do guarantee if you find something wrong with the vin that they didn't find they will pay you big $$$$. You can also call the manufacture of the vehicle and they can check the title for free, just call your local dealership and ask for service.
