Tracking down an old vehicle?

[mkbruin]

I sold my first MJ with ~130k showing on the odo. It was in rough but solid shape. Driveline was stout. no rust. needed some bodywork, and had a bad case of DW I couldn't get rid of. Ended up selling it for a grand just to move on. :doh:

 

Anyways, fast-forward seven years. I would love to see what it looks like now. The board I sold it through scrubbed all old posts and I'm's, so I lost the username of the guy I sold it to. I still have the VIN, and a check of the national insurance system shows not reported junked or salvaged and not stolen.

 

Any other ways to track it down?

How about the Department of Motor Vehicles? I think vehicle registrations are public records. I'm sure there would be a fee associated with the request.

Gotta go through the state main hub DMV for information.

If you don't know what state the vehicle is in, you could get a report from AutoCheck. They'll give you a pretty complete history report, including registration renewal locations.
