Knowing the history of a used car before deciding to buy one can save you a lot of money in the future. When requesting a vehicle history report (VHR), you can eliminate most of the guesswork to determine whether a used car has been involved in an accident or whether major repairs have taken place that may not guarantee your investment.
About a VIN Check
When you get a VIN check, you will get essential information about your vehicle’s history. This includes:
Past properties, including information such as:
How many owners have the car?
Odometer readings when the vehicle changed hands.
This can give you clues as to how difficult it was to drive a vehicle and provide a good estimate of your life expectancy.
Vouchers on the vehicle.
Buying a vehicle with a pledge can result in the vehicle being recovered if the loan is not paid.
History of securities and accidents, including reports of accidents, flood damage and rescue marks.
A title check can also help you determine if the vehicle owner is the real person who sells you the car.

A more complete VIN search usually costs about $ 40 for a single report. You can get multiple unlimited reports for a higher rate, which could be useful if you are watching the history of different vehicles. For more information, see our guide to getting individual reports over multiple reports.
Private companies (such as our approved partner) also offer a repurchase guarantee that promises to repurchase any purchased car due to a bad relationship, provided it is in compliance with the terms and conditions.
