I know a lot of folks wouldn't list their VIN online for privacy reasons, but if a person opts-in by posting the VIN, and you have a little hook looking for that kind of fish - perhaps by searching for any alpha-numeric string of 17 characters - you could parse that through a VIN database. If the string isn't there, your crawler slinks away looking for the next car.

So yeah, next level stuff. If you are able to make this happen, you'll build a brand faster than you could imagine. This is what the used car market lacks right now, and with this one simple innovation you could rebuild it from the ground up. You'd end up being like a real estate MLS guide but for vehicles.

I hope you do it before a certain online search behemoth makes it happen.
