Well if a google search does not turn up anything, you can do it the old fashion way and talk to the guy you sold it to. Guys that purchase cars, go back in time finding all the previous owners of their cars. So that would be one idea. Another would be if you had a friend at the DMV, or police force run the vin and see hat comes back. I think as another option you can run the Vin # through certain states DMV and they can tell you if there is a history of the car. each state is different on what info they will give out. There may even be a service for this that does all the work for you?
