If you plan on buying or selling a car, you need to know as much as possible about it. Using GoodCar’s Vehicle History Reports, instantly find out about previous owners, any major damage (flood/fire/collision), original or optional equipment installed, title brands, and much more!

This data can impact your car value, safety, and reliability. Therefore, it’s crucial to know what you are dealing with before buying or selling a vehicle.

Vehicle History Reports are the new industry standard. We source our data from the most reputable public and private databases. We are also an approved provider for the NMVTIS database, which is maintained by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), as a rule, is a 17-digit number that serves as the vehicle’s unique identifier. Sometimes this alphanumeric code is referred to as the car’s fingerprint. Each vehicle has its own unique code, which is comprised of capital letters and numbers. Each section of the VIN number represents different information about the vehicle, such as the manufacturer, features, and specifications. A VIN can be used to track recalls, accidents, registrations, warranty claims, thefts, insurance, and more.

Every vehicle is linked to a VIN. That key piece of information unlocks thousands of details about the car, such as technical specifications, optional equipment, trim level, security features, and even open or past safety recalls. Vehicle reports can also show you previous and current vehicle owners, usage, location, sales history prices, and current value. The data may also include the residual value and information on accidents, hidden damages, branded titles like odometer tampering, salvage title, junk, water damage, lemon, fire damage, and even hail-damaged vehicles. Using GoodCar Vehicle Reports, you can determine how much your vehicle is worth, odometer readings, title history, other title information, check out market demand, supply, and where to buy and sell cars. Don’t buy without first checking on GoodCar!
