I'm sorry, Bob, but are you under the impression that the VIN search supplied 
you with the actual amount of money involved in the contracts between the 
manufacturer and the contrator (purchaser)???   Oh, ye babes in the woods!

That's not a matter of public record.  All you got was a typical or estimated 
amount of the transaction and an estimated amount added as dealer options and 
costs.

VIN searches look at public records of DMV's and will tell you a great deal 
about a used vehicle such as insurance claims, odometer readings, amount the 
vehicle was sale was taxed (and thus it's price if people were honest).
