Help obtaining previous owner
« on: September 25, 2017, 18:22:15 »
Hi all,

Is there a way of getting in contact with a previous car owners?  I was looking in the registry and I believe I may have a car listed there.  It would be great if I could get in touch with them.


Regards

Steven,

I think this might be fairly difficult since the "Car Registry" does not include the former owners Forum / Site UserName. The registry, however, does show the privious owners First and Last name. Only you would know what that is since you mentioned that you found the VIN number of the car you now owne in our registry.

I suggest you post the question here as to if anyone remembers the First and Last name. Chances are one of the long term members might remember the former member and his User ID.

If the previous owner is still a member here is another question. If he/she was no longer active for a number of years then his/her profile and file would be deleted since from time to time we clean up the data base.

Good Luck

Why don't you send him a personal message through this site?   He uses Skrmetti as his profile name and shows active as of May of 2017.   

How did you deduce that Skrmetti is the previous owner based on the registry?  I don't see a VIN listed in the registry.  Is it the color combo?

Best of luck,

It's a bit of a wild guess but colour combo is the main one.
 I shall spend some time tomorrow trying to contact him. Thanks for your help.
