USED CAR ADVICE

VIN Reports provide information pertaining to a vehicle's registration, title and usage history. Vehicle reports display the results of a comprehensive search for:

- Title & odometer fraud
- Lemon cars
- Salvage vehicles
- Other hidden conditions that can impact your purchase

When selling a vehicle, don't let a stranger take it for a test drive alone. If a prospective buyer wants to take the car to a mechanic for an appraisal, volunteer to deliver and pick up the car to a known mechanic shop. When buying a used car, be certain that the seller's name and address are verified, and be sure that the VIN number on the registration is the same as the one on the car. Also make sure there is not a lien (loan) on the vehicle by checking VIN Reports.

Are there any outstanding recalls? - For you and your passengers safety, it's always a good idea to find out if there are any outstanding recalls on your vehicle. VIN Reports will tell you about recalls.

Keep your vehicle's title and registration at home, not in the glove compartment of your car. Consider etching your VIN into all car windows, T-tops, and other expensive, removable parts. This will help the police identify stolen auto parts. Drop your business card or other identifier down the window slot into the door panels. This may assist police in identifying a stolen vehicle or stolen parts.

Carry in your wallet or purse a card listing your license plate number, VIN, engine type, and body style. Relay this information to the police quickly if your vehicle is stolen.
