[s-cars] NAC - Can Anyone Run a VIN for Me?

[Ian Duff]

Factor in the durability of diesel, the 40-plus thousand miles a year  
I drive, and it starts to look good. Further factor in the (used)  
purchase price vs gas cars of the same model and condition, and it  
looks even better. Downside is the cost of diesel vs gas right now.
-Ian.
