try
www.carfax.com
If it comes up as some stupid thing that has nothing to to with cars then search for it on
www.google.com
Try your vin in there and it should tell you what year your car is, how many jobs were done on it like if there was an accicdent or something. Dont worry its all free untill you want to see what actually happened to it. Then its 10 bucks.
