Can someone be a doll and run a VIN?

I am lurkin' around trying to buy another R53 and in the process, have to sell my R58, which I will most likely take a bath on. :(

Sooooo, I do not want to spend more and more money if I do not have to...can anyone out there run a VIN for me?

That is really cool to see a cars options, however, I was looking for someone who had a Carfax account that could run the VIN for me to see if it was involved in any accidents and whatnot.

Do you have pics, purple haze is a more rare color. Put a Aero kit on it and looks really good.
