Vygis' Cars

Info on Vygis' cars that I have to dispose of:

Hyundai:
VIN: KMHLF21J5HU226386
Make/Model: 1987 HYUNDAI EXCEL GL
Link to a carfax report on the Hyundai:

Honda:
VIN: 1HGAD5423FA022063
Make/Model: 1985 HONDA ACCORD 1800
Link to a carfax report on the Hyundai:

Here is a non-government page about general rules for title transfers in Maryland:

Trying to find the title number for the Hyundai:

This indicates that title number is not a private record: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.misc/qhd69H53nV8

This confirms it and has the link to the request for record form: http://www.mva.maryland.gov/drivers/driving-record-information/driving-record-privacy.htm

vehiclehistory.com didn't return a title number on the VIN:https://www.vehiclehistory.com/vehicle/land.php

vehiclehistory.com gets their data from something called the NMVTIS. Interestingly, this government service comes from vehiclehistory.gov. A review of their faq does not seem to promise that they ever provide a title number: https://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_faq.html

I had been wondering for a while if a (horrifically expensive) CARFAX report included title number, and this image seems to indicate that it does! http://autocheckvscarfax.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/carfax-free-report-example-5.jpg

This seems to be the root source for that image and others samles: https://www.carfax.com/company/sample-carfax-report
