Posting the VIN, and many will answer back saying its too dangerous to post a VIN and then have someone run it, for fear of a nasty gram from Car-Fax.
See previous threads about this.
If someone would run a Car Fax, just PM the person requesting it.
They can then PM reply with a VIN.
Just my $0.02 worth.
PS: I'd also be interested in having one run.
