Because it is just a simple VIN look up, there is nothing beyond location and date of build built into the VIN, it is pretty much just a database placeholder like your social security or driver’s license number; without access to the master data base, you get nothing more. The VIN alone will not give you what you want, but if you can use the VIN to access the OEM's database, as *********** does, it will tell you everything about the original car; all OEM's are this way. And why they now charge for the privilege…….
