Using the VIN to trace ownership history sounds smart. Does anyone know how far back you can typically find records?
From what I’ve read, ownership records can usually go back ten years or more. It can definitely vary, though.

That’s quite a bit! It must be fascinating to see how many owners a particular car has had.
Absolutely, but I wonder if sometimes cars with lots of owners are a red flag? Or just a sign of many adventures?
Depends on the car and how it’s been treated! More owners could mean more stories or just poor maintenance. Always a risk with used cars.
Haha, imagine getting a car with a history of wild road trips! Those are the best kind of stories. Where do I sign up?
And yet, those cars might be more trouble than they’re worth! It’s vital to check every little detail on the build sheet.
