Hey guys
I'm looking for correct information/ knowledge:
What is the most reliable way to check vin/chassis numbers for cars sitting for 20, 30, + years (nsw only). The ones that someone has for sale, stripped body sitting in a paddock, etc, that you would spend many $$$ on, then front up to register & discover it been missing for years with finance still owing, etc
Also engine or blocks sitting under benches for years, that they now want to sell.
Any up to date info, that anyone has 1st hand knowledge of - n.s w. please incl relevant rego departments.
Thanks for any help.
I repeat, looking for nsw particulary

I've normally done REVS check in the past for vehicle or chassis, but they cost $25 each now. For engines I used to use a chassis number I knew was OK and use the engine number with it. These will tell you if the chassis or the engine number are listed as stolen at least in the last 40 years or so. It does cover other State records too. |

They only cost $25 if you go through a 3rd party website. Anyone can search the Personal Property Security Register (PPSR) via the government website directly for $2. The trick is to make sure the website you are clicking on is the www.ppsr.gov.au (note the gov bit), many private operators have set up look alike websites that charge you $25 whilst they then search the real register incurring $2 and making $23 profit off you! Covers finance and stolen and written off, not sure whether they hold records from 30+ years ago, you might have to review their site to see what limitations on the records they hold.

Agree, I did a $2 PPSR search just a couple of weeks ago. Easy to get sucked into the $25 sites though.
