Looking for pictures

levski · 07-25-2022, 11:53 AM

Hey guys, I really tried my best to find a suitable thread to post my question but I didn't find one so I had to open this. I have the following problem - I know for sure that a car was declared a total loss due to a structural damage. The car is repaired now and looks and drives fantastic. The thing is I just can not find any pictures anywhere - Carfax doesn't have any, nor does any other website. I paid to 6-7 different car history websites - not a single picture. Auction websites - nothing. Insurance company told me it's private info, can't help. This is the first car so far that I can't find a single picture. Any ideas?

The car is a Canadian 2017 340i xdrive btw.

What's the VIN? There's a data aggregator site called carvertical dot com that may have some. It's not free though for each report. I'm not sure but I may have a report left.

Carvertical is one of the many sites that I paid but unfortunately they don’t have any pictures either.

Assuming it was sold at auction to a salvager there was probably a picture of it on the auction site, but you'd need to know which site, when it was listed, and then hope you could find it buried somewhere.

I basically checked all the known auction websites out there - nothing.

Sometimes I know you can enter the cars VIN in google and it will pull up anything associated with that car on the internet. I've done it a few times like this

Its a long shot, but did you try asking the insurance company to pass your contact info along to the PO?
