How to find your old car?

[Rsully70sev]

I was young, dumb, and stupid. I inherited a 1976 Cadillac Seville, absolutely mint condition with an original 46,000 miles on it. I drove it from 16-18 years old, bitched about stupid shit and wanted something newer. I ended up selling it and building a Nissan Titan, but ever since I always regretted selling it.

A few years ago I offered to buy it back and he declined. Since then I lost his phone number, but I want to give it another shot and make him an offer he can't refuse. But I have no idea how to get in contact with him? DMV maybe?

Do you have the vin number on any old paper work, could be helpful.

I'm not sure if the dmv is allowed to release the owners name or not but it's worth a shot.

From what I've heard it's all public info, but you have to pay a fee to get it..

Or just ask 4chan to find it.

I'd be more than willing to pay for it. I hope it is public information. This car has a lot of sentimental value to me, I just didn't appreciate it at the time.

I had a mint 240SX at one point and I regret selling it as well. If you do find your old car, let me know how it goes. I will probably go down that same path if it's successful.

Yeah it's such a bitch. I guess the old saying's true "you don't appreciate something till it's gone".

If you know any police officers they can look up current and last known owners with the V.I.N.

Hmm, the PO of my last e30 was a Novato cop. He really is a good guy too, I bet he fouled help.

My old car is wrapped around a tree. That's what you get for selling a kid a chipped M50 swapped E30 with a 6 puck drag clutch and high clamp flywheel.........

My old car was mk2 Jetta, 16v swapped with a turbo.
Bought it for $2.5k but after a bunch of repairs I couldn't really make it reliable and ended up selling to a guy for bit cheaper.
According to the paperwork, I was the 9th owner of the car.
Soon after, that car showed up on classifieds, which was sold to someone else (which makes him eleventh owner).
After that he seemed to work on it for a while but soon he left Canada and I saw that car on the same classified once again...I wonder where it is now.

How so? Because I sold my car to another kid? Maybe I shoulda put an M10 with a cam and called it an M3 instead so he wouldn't buy it

I read that wrong.. I read it as YOU wrapped the car around the tree. My bad

My E30 is my first car and I never intend to sell it. Good luck finding your old car!
