"VIN" stands for Vehicle Identification Number.
This number is a unique universal serial number issued to every car
by the car manufacturer. Within the 17-digit vin number are codes that
indicate the car's make and model, where the car was manufactured, a
serial number, and even information about optional equipment.
Why you need a Car Report
When buying a used car, there are many ways for you to get a bad deal
from your local auto dealer.
Odometer readings may be rolled back. It's illegal in most states, but
its easy. It is still a common occurance in used cars.
Dealer will not or cannot show you the repair orders or identity of former
owner(s).
Vehicle shipped from out-of-state or received in trade from another dealer.
Car reports can reveal:
Flood/Fire-damage Titles
Odometer Rollback/Rollover
Salvage Titles/Auction
Lemon/Rebuilt Title
Major Accidents
Stolen
2 million cars are totaled each year in America and sold at
salvage auctions. Dealers rebuild and put these junked cars back on the
road. A free car report will reveal if a car has a problem history and
save you money on costly repairs.

A free car report will tell you one of two things about a used car's
history:
That it's clean: Car reports for clean cars might show
the title being renewed or issued several times. Where states require
them, you might see emissions or safety test passes. If it's a newer car,
there might only be a couple of records.
That it has potential problems that require further investigation:
The car report might include evidence of flood damage, accidents,
indications of odometer fraud, emission test failures, theft history,
or evidence of heavy usage.
Benefits of a free car report for sellers

or trading in, they will definitely run a car history check before
they take the car off your hands. To get the best price for your
car, you should know what they're going to find out beforehand!
Private buyers will be more comfortable buying fro2m someone who
can offer them immediate proof of reliability and a clean history.
Avoid having people go check out the car history themselves - you
will most likely never hear from them agian even if your car has
a clean history. Make it easy to make a immediate decision to buy
your car.
Benefits of a free car report for buyers
Don't get stuck with someone else's problem. If you know what the
seller knows - or maybe more than the seller knows - then you're
more likely to make a good decision and not be swayed by someone's
smooth "pitch."
You'll also enjoy extra peace-of-mind. You won't have to worry
that the car you just purchase will die on your first trip into
town. Gettting swindled hurts more than your pocketbook - it's hurts
your entire life. Marriages have been lost to lesser problems.
