Why You Shouldn't Buy or Sell Without a VIN Check!
Buying or selling a car without checking its VIN can lead to costly mistakes, as some of these vehicles have several hidden records like past accidents, title problems, or undisclosed theft or damage records.
When Buying a Vehicle
Not Every Used Car Is What It Seems!
- Hidden Accident History – Sellers may not disclose past collisions that affect safety and value.
- Odometer Fraud – You could end up overpaying for a vehicle with far more wear than advertised.
- Salvage or Rebuilt Titles – Without a VIN check, these risky titles can go unnoticed.
- Stolen Vehicles – Purchasing a stolen car could result in seizure and legal trouble.
When Selling a Vehicle
Why Your Vehicle Isn't Selling For Its True Value
Vehicles with clean histories and strong brand reputations retain significantly more value, often holding 55–65% or more of their original price after five years. Without a VIN check to identify clean vehicles, you may encounter these challenges:
- Skeptical Buyers – Lack of history transparency turns interested buyers away.
- Undervalued Offers – You’re more likely to get lowball offers if you don’t have any records on the vehicle.
- Unknown Issues – If your vehicle has a recall or title flag, you may not even know it.
- Longer Time on Market – Incomplete information often results in delayed sales and missed opportunities.
