 can enter the VIN number and get back all records of all the service that
 was performed at VW dealers over the years since it was new... this can give
 you some idea of what was repaired, when, frequency of service, etc. The
 odometer readings at time of service can also give you an idea if the
 odometer has been cooked or now. >>
