Answer 2

Anytime you purchase a used car, even if the seller is a trusted friend or relative, doing a quick check on the VIN (vehicle identification number) is always a good idea. A car's VIN gives you access to its entire documented history. Every accident, repair and purchase is recorded. Having this information is handy. Cosmetically a car might look terrific, but the goodlooking exterior could mask frame or electrical damage, or even the fact that it is a stolen car. Although most VIN search services charge money, there are ways to get it done for free.

Dealerships or sellers

Just like the commercial says, "Show me the Carfax." When purchasing a used car, tell the dealership or owner a recent Carfax needs to come with the car. A Carfax search is easy to do in minutes over the internet. If you run into a computer-illiterate seller, ask them to give you the $30 for the Carfax. If they want to sell the car, they should do it. If they refuse, walk away from the car, because something is fishy.

Get a Carfax, but have the seller pay for it. Other online sites

Several sites other than Carfax offer the same service, but the more information you want, the more it costs. Websites like checkvinfree.com or myvin.com provide the service, but allow you to put the VIN in for free. A free check gets you next to nothing, but it can at least tell you if the car is stolen.

Buying a used car is risky. Always check the VIN number before a car purchase, even if you are buying from an established dealership. A car's history should not remain a secret, and if it does, it is not the car you want.
