Cheap VIN checks

[zx9er]

Hi,

I'm trying to check out a bike prior to possible purchase. I have the vin and rego number. I've heard rumours you can get them done for $3.95 or $9.95? Rather than the $30+ on car history.com

Myself and the bike live in NSW.

Any help would be appreciated.

Get the Rta one. It's cheaper and same as car history I believe

short version, you pay us 18 bucks for something that used to be free, and if we're wrong, stiff shit!

oh, and because we could be wrong, we say you should get a private eye do do some digging for you (which costs a motza, and still could be wrong!)


what a fucking crock of shit!

Car history check saved me from buying an ex chaser from a dealership asked them if it was and they said no went home and did a Check and was an ex QLD police car even said it in the log books when I went back to confront them.....was the best $30 I think it was I ever spent IMO....

PPSR.com.au recommends all clients seek legal help before using PPSR. While our service is top-notch, it’s not intended to constitute legal advice.

so what was free, now because it was too hard and expensive, now costs somewhere between $8 and $40 for the same information, which of course is not warranted nor guaranteed.

i must have been transported into another, parallel universe; one where logic and common sense ceased to exist!

this shit beggars belief!

I heard from someone who worked on the system, that it is pretty inaccurate. And if your enquiry isn't specific enough and you have to try again it will charge you for every attempt - despite it being the fault of the software that can't accurately search its own database.

I'm a bit worried about the project bike I recently bought. I was understandably wary because it was NSW registered and damaged. I only went through with it because I was told it was uninsured. The plate was still with it at the time, but was to be returned to the po in exchange for the keys. I was checking on the free page to see when it was cancelled ... and it went from being registered to "An error has occurred. The vehicle details you have entered are not consistent with RMS records. Please check the vehicle details and try again."
Just to see if the system was actually working I entered the rego of a friend's bike. I've known him for years and I always thought his bike was silver ... RMS says it is green. Beats me. I emailed them too - and got the response I expected. None.
