How to find a car history by VIN number?

A VIN number is a unique number assigned to all vehicles and it can be used to uncover a wealth of information on practically any vehicle. Your VIN number can help you discover everything from manufacturers date to owner history and previous accidents that the vehicle may have been involved in.

To unlock the truth about any vehicles past, you must first locate your VIN. You can typically locate your VIN stamped on the driver side dashboard when looking from outside directly through the windshield. The VIN should also be visible on the vehicle driver side doorframe, engine block, as well as the vehicles title and registration paperwork.

Buying a Used Car in the State of Ohio? This is What You Should Know

According to Ohio Department of Public Safety Crash Data, 302,307 crashes occurred in 2014 alone. Most of those crashes, 226,169 to be exact, resulted in serious property damage claims. It is only safe to assume that the large majority of those claims were due to various vehicle crashes related to property losses.

Factoring in all of the alarming crash related statistics one can only guess how many of these crashed vehicles, some hastily repaired, make their way to the pre-owned car market. Although some crashed vehicles can be brought back to their original condition, the repairs of the vehicle will rely heavily on the quality of workmanship of the body shop that actually did all of the work. Unfortunately, more often than not, many body shops cut corners to save on parts costs and repairing panels that are deemed un-repairable. The repairs may be hidden and not very noticeable but the fact of the matter is that these vehicles historically have a higher cost of ownership numbers. Consequently, these crashed vehicles become the new owners burden.

It is generally advised to stay clear of any vehicle involved in a serious collision. This is why it is so vital to use the power of the Vehicle History Report prior to making that very costly buying decision. Whether the Vehicle History Report confirms the vehicle's clean history or displays some alarming information you will be armed with the vital information that can help you make a decision that is right for you.

Run a full Vehicle History Report on practically any vehicle and get a quick and easy to understand report.
