Anyone here that can do a VIN check for me?

About to buy my first car, what are VIN checks for?

It's not very accurate. I ran the VIN on my shitbox for giggles and it reports no accidents, despite the fact I've crashed it twice.

You know that site is fucking garbage right? Check it with your own vehicles. I have a truck with multiple collisions and a smog failure but it shows up completely clean there with the mileage off by 15 years, and the last car I bought doesn't even register as a valid VIN even though Carfax had the full history. You might as well just blindly googling the number.

ive checked plenty of cars that had proper history including my own.

some of which said severe car accident that required tow etc.

PROTIP go to carfax with the same car and you will get the same shit because not everything gets reported properly

Just pay the $4 you cheap fucks

$3 if you're willing to go even shadier

And be grateful because there are no cheap options for leafs, Carfax sucks for Canada. Carproof is the only option at full price unless you have a buddy at a dealership, in which case you wouldn't be asking for a VIN check on a Mongolian children's cartoon website.

OK here I pulled an example for you

This is a terrible website to expect accurate information from. Half the time they dont even have logs of important events in a car's history
I was looking at a cheap sports coupe for sale on craigslist.
On vehicle history, the vin showed no accidents and no salvage title.
On NICB, it lists it as a salvage title
On Carfax, it lists 3 previous accidents, salvage title, and 10 fking previous owners

Lesson here is to not trust carfax entirely, and trust vehiclehistory even less so because a lot of info is not reported.

>Lesson here is to not trust carfax entirely
wait what, it's good advice regardless but they had the most info right

They show the past maintenance history of the vehicle as reported by various service companies and dealers. It also shows mandated (by DMV) report info such as flood damage status. The accuracy varies because the companies might not purchase data from all the databases nor collect data on their own thru outreach to service companies.

Basically, any place that records your odometer mileage or works on your car is a potential source of data. There are over 30 different database companies out there that solicit and purchase or trade "in kind" for that data. It is then sold to places like CarFax and insurance companies. Some dealerships might not report the repair data for cars they sell on their lot because they don't want buyers to know that car needed certain repairs.

>it's good advice regardless but they had the most info right
it seems that CarFax usually has the most info about a car's past service history.

Yes, generally speaking the paid or pricier vin checks like autocheck and carfax have more complete histories than the free ones.
However they don't keep track of things that are done outside a shop (like a self oil change) or if its a small repair shop that doesn't report it. Say if you get into a minor fender bender and both parties agree not to get insurance involved, the guy can bring the car to a small shop, pay cash to not have the incident reported to carfax

>About to buy my first car, what are VIN checks for?
The world is full of liars.

You can try to spot odometer rollbacks with them. Some people will fool VIN checks by swapping out odometers, but occasionally they fail or forget and the wrong odometer mileage gets recorded into the car history. Or they have an accident and of course the officer or tow truck records the odometer of the disabled car.

Picture: related example of Miata odometer rollback

It's one more layer of protection against deception.
You don't want to buy a Harvey flood car do you?

CarFax anticipated there would be more flood shenanigans by dishonest sellers. It opened up a webpage just for checking hurricane flooded cars. Of course, dishonest people will go to shops or private mechanics that don't report the data so CarFax and other places won't show that car as flood damaged. They'll fix the car paint superficially, get the engine able to run and then dump it on craigslist or one of the other car flipping services.

Just like in the house flipping industry, there are jewcucks flipping cars. They show up in storm ravaged areas looking for flood cars to privately fix and flip.

VIN checks are stupid. I worked at a car auction and most shitwrecks had totally clean VIN checks.

Mazda3 thanks

>most shitwrecks had totally clean VIN checks
Those shitty cars had minimal maintenance and thus no opportunity for a mainstream shop to report the service. Or the cars went thru dealer lots and some dealers are stealerships. They don't want to report that the car was shitty and needed repairs, so they may have done the repairs and then chose to not report some or even all of the repairs.

There are lots of local small auto repair shops I see when driving around. I bet none of those report or are even sought after by CarFax to report. Those shitty cars could have been repaired at those neighborhood cut-rate shops.

thanks!!

If it's an OnStar car, can't he request an onstar history for the car?

Its a 98

>I have a truck with multiple collisions
Were the collisions repaired at a chain franchise body shop? Or a privately owned body shop that doesn't report?

>Just seems a bit too nice and clean for what it is.
It depends a lot on the owner too.

Some people lovingly maintain their cars and have a garage plus dedicated employee (no outsiders) parking at work. The use of rubber mats plus regular vacuuming keeps the inside neat and cloth seats and vinyl don't get ground down by grit from the human body sliding on it thru the years. The use of seat covers makes the seats last a lot longer especially since sun and friction are reduced.

I guess that makes sense, but this one just seems factory new inside; after over 10 years I'd kind of expect SOME kind of wear.

Alas, the person that had a full subscription is gone. If you don't use the paid version of CarFax then you'll have to use the free ones which are abridged.

Looks like flood damaged cars are starting to get sold all over the place as seen in this the threat at
