Default Compnine Website Shuts down permanently...

The Compnine website has been around for many years. One of it's more powerful features was to give the user a complete list of options on any GM vehicle (and how many were made with those exact options), based on the VIN number. Very nice.

Apparently they lost funding.

Here's the message:

These types of announcements don't come easy, but effective immediately Comp Nine will be closing its doors permanently.
Thank you to everyone that helped keep the site going and for allowing Comp Nine to serve the community for so many years.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry to see the site go - I used it pretty often for part numbers and graphics.

RIP CompNine!!

Several forum vendors will look up VINs when asked.

That sucks

I always thought their VIN decoder was a neat tool to play with. Used it a lot when looking at used cars, at least then you know exactly what options it had without bothering the owner or a dealer...

I don't think there is any other site out there that offers the same. If anyone knows one, a link would be great...
