Whether you're buying or selling a used car, ordering a vehicle history report (also known as a VIN Check) should be at the top of your must-do list. You'll find a wealth of sites on the Internet offering vehicle history reports, making it an easy process taking no longer than a few minutes to order.

But before you do, make sure you're ordering from a legitimate car history source with a solid reputation. The more reputable VIN Check companies harvest information from a massive database, employing thousands of sources including police and fire departments, repair shops, auto auctions, fleet and rental services and DMV offices. Within these reports you'll find the following information:

  • Flood damage history
  • Odometer readings
  • Accident history
  • Number of owners
  • Existence, if any, of salvage or junk titles
  • Lemon reports
  • State emissions inspection results
  • Service history (taxi, police car, rental...) 

As a seller, a vehicle history report will help you set a price and establish in a potential buyer's eyes that you're a straight shooter. And as a buyer, it will allow you to make a decision with mechanic-like confidence. But before ordering, do your research so you'll be guaranteed of receiving a legitimate report from a legitimate company.
