He offered a refund on a VANAGON . I say take it!!!! They're nothing but
trouble.

Just kidding because it's Friday. Oh, it's Wednesday? Disregard the above and
read on.

If the car has always been in California the DMV site on the internet will
show you the place where the mandatory smog tests were done. This
unfortunately will not give you the mileage at the tests but may help to know
where the car was from and start the Columbo-style investigation.

You need to type in the VIN or the license plate so have that handy.
