First, congrats on the car! I hope you enjoy it.

Second - for your question, I don't know your specific car, but what I've done (and friends have done) in the past is a combo of searching the VIN online or using an app designed to connect previous owners (like VINwiki). And definitely posting in the forums (as you have done), but if the VIN search comes up with a dealership hit, but not a person, that can sometimes give an idea of where the car came from. With the auction network now, a car can move vast distances just for the purposes of selling.

If it was registered in Ontario, you can spend $20 to purchase a UVIP from Service Ontario. It will show all previous owner name and located area.
