How to Find a Car History in California by VIN Number?

Regardless if you are looking to purchase a pre-owned vehicle from a used car dealer or a private party it is always a good idea to look up a vehicle VIN number prior to finalizing the purchase. This important step in the used car buying process is absolutely vital and it can save you thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket vehicle repair and ownership costs.

You can start your VIN search in California by locating your VIN number. Each vehicle built after 1984 has a unique identifying number called Vehicle Identification Number or VIN for short. This number is comprised of 17-characters and can be found behind the front windshield on the dashboard of most vehicles. The VIN may also be found on the vehicle driver side doorframe, engine block as well as the vehicles title and registration documents.

A vehicle VIN number represents the unique DNA of every car as it tells you everything you need to know about the car, from its manufactured date to a list of features and options. This number is also used by state national and private entities to keep track of the vehicle throughout its lifespan.

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

According to the 2015 State of California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) statistics, California is the home of 34,346,325 registered vehicles. As a matter of fact a good percentage of these vehicles will be involved in at least one car accident during their lifespan. Over 223,128 people were injured from car crashes resulting in severe vehicle damage. So, if you are looking to buy a used car in California , finding the right one might pose a little challenge. The probability of a Pre-owned vehicle having inherent problems is higher in a vehicle previously involved in an accident than in vehicles with no accident history.

"The seller never disclosed that the car was involved in such a big accident, he only told me it was a minor fender bender or something of that nature but when I check your report I can see that the vehicle was a total loss. Your report saved me from a lot of aggravation and stress dealing with a dishonest seller."
