it means that there was a lien placed on the car.
in other words someone used the car to guarantee repayment on a loan

a sticky would be nice, but why don't you add it to the Favorites in you browser. there's so much in the stickies that it takes me a long time to find things; for me the favorites is faster.

If you think about it, telling them to check the stickies is kinda like copy and pasting the link outta your favs

Amazing. my car came out alright. Planning to get a van for my wife. So i did some vin checks. The places the vans came from. Some where lease or from fleets. The best thing about it was free.

Yes this is awesome, and a lot more ACCURATE than CarFax. CarFax said there was odometer problems but the dates listed on the report, nothing seemed odd.

This report actually had more detail, and now I can see where and why there was a odometer problem reported. Turns out the first odometer reading wasn't until 1996. The first owner must have had a problem with the unit, and had it replaced or something because the first reading was 3800 miles.

3800 miles in 6 years?... I'm working towards that, I bought the car with 90,000 miles, and only put 10,000 in the past 3 1/2. Luckily the odometer works fine now, tested it against a new vehicle, as well as used a friends GPS unit, checked out perfect.

I also have to ***** at the local police... they listed the car as having an accident. I know exactly what happened, and the car wasn't even touched by the other car. I hit the brakes way before the dumb b!tch ever could hit me.

Means someone had financed the car and the title wasn't released.

When I went to re-register my maxima a few months back when I had it. The lien holder never signed the title they had just given my sister the title. When I transferred ownership I couldn't register the car as it wasn't released from the financial company or whomever my sister got the car from as she financed it through the dealership. I just signed a few squiggly lines and went back and had no issues (The original lien holder went out of business and I had to file a request through the BBB and do mad unneccessary steps. Then some guy at a dealership told me to just sign squiggly lines) If you already registered your car then the lien was released already.

I just found out my sister's car was used as a rental car. Explains why it is going through soo many issues at only 77k miles.

that one isn't perfect.
my camry doesn't show ANYTHING for the first 2 years of its life.
The first record is in 96 with like 30k on it.
