History on this car?

RKCamaro13 · 09-21-2015, 02:50 PM

One of my dad's friends is looking at buying a 2014 c7, and found one in Alabama that they're selling as a used car. It only has 197 miles on it and has never been registered in anyone's name. The dealer said it was used as an executive car, but dealers say alot of things. Is there any way to find out anything about the car through the vin number? I tried searching it with no luck. Here's the vin if anyone can help,1G1YF2D70E5100171.

all I know you could do is to run a CARFAX.....but that won't give you much at all....that's is if it actually any history at all, which would be a good thing.

All I can tell you is that car came off the production line on 8/28/13, how do I know I had 0170. So since it was manufactured it has averaged less than 8 miles a month. If it's being sold as a used car then warranty might be a problem, however, in the past executive cars were under full warranty (If it was a GM executive) if local dealer executive then all bets off.
