    Free Autocheck Hack per Lifehacker

    Pretty cool article. Checked it myself and it works.

    Per http://lifehacker.com/get-a-free-veh...-car-512856477

    To check out a used car's history before you buy it, you can order an AutoCheck or CarFaxreport for $30 or $40 or use this hidden search technique to get a free report.
    Reddit user oinkinstein revealed this tip for running the vehicle history report.

    1. First, get the VIN for the car
    2. Then search for dealer autocheck inurl:vin
    3. Click on the first search result (right now it leads to an autoexact.com site, but this trick works with other sites as well)
    4. Replace the VIN in the URL with your own. Note that if there's any other information after the VIN, such as an id=####, just replace the VIN and keep the other info intact.

    VoilĂ*! You'll get the AutoCheck report from Experian with the basic details of the car, along with any reported accidents, title issues, the last reported odometer reading, and the full history of the car. Good to know when you're used car shopping

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Alternatively, you can list a car for sale on ebay and get up to 6 free VIN checks. I found that out when I put my car up for sale. I'm going to try your way to check my motorcycle's VIN, I'll let you know how that turns out.

    Mark D's way worked with my motorcycle, apparently all checks out on it, only event in blue was a duplicate title, which I'm not sure is actually a bad thing. Thanks for sharing Mark, your way was way more simple!

    Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:

    Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....
