Mechanic Inspections
When you go to these sites enter the VIN# of the car and they search millions of vehicle records. Your report appears online with title and registration data, odometer readings and much more.
NICB - Free VIN Check - As a FREE beginning to your used car search you can use this service provided by the National Insurance Crime Bureau. If your vehicles pass this first test then you will want to purchase a more detailed report. Simply put your VIN# in and you will get a FREE report (up to five during a 24 hour period) to assist in determining if the vehicle has been reported as stolen and not recovered, or has been reported as a previously declared a total loss vehicle.
Next, Click on the CARFAX or Atuo Check site and for only $14.99 you can get a Vehicle History Report on the used car you are interested in buying. I recommend you purchase the “Unlimited” program for just $24.99, where for 60 days you can check as many cars as you like. A small investment necessary to guarantee you aren’t wasting your hard earned money. Have your VIN# ready and you can order the report.
Remember, you can always find a similar car at a different dealership. There are thousands of cars for sale in your area, don’t fall in love with just one particular car. Get the report and inspection done on the car you are interested in and if they show that there are problems with the car – then you just saved yourself a lot of time and money. Always keep in mind - you are in control.
