CARFAX vs. AutoCheck - Car History Report

If you are buying a used car, you absolutely must get an AutoCheck®
Vehicle History Report on the Vehicle Identification Number(VIN) AND have a mechanic inspect the car on a lift. If you do not do both of these, do not buy that used car! You have been warned. The VIN decoder keeps sellers honest too. You are about to purchase a used car for thousands of dollars, don't get stuck with a lemon because you wanted to save a couple of bucks on an Used Car History Report.

A car history report reveals more about that used car than the seller is willing to tell you. What a AutoCheck Vehicle History Report tells you:

* Police accident reports if available for your VIN Number
* Major accident data, including total loss, rebuilt wrecks, salvage titles & airbag deployment
* Odometer rollback check, truth in mileage consistency check
* VIN Number Decoder shows year, model, engine, place of manufacture & standard equipment
* Check if the car has been turned in under a lemon law
* If the car was flooded, totaled by insurance, has a salvage title or sold at an auction
* Open recalls on your car, remaining coverage on the vehicle's warranty
* Indication if vehicle has been certified pre-owned, leased, car rental, fleet or government vehicle
* Date when dealer took delivery. Use this to haggle a lower price, it's sitting on the lot for months.

AutoCheck Reports feature the AutoCheck Score. The AutoCheck Score allows you to easily compare vehicle histories. In addition to the AutoCheck Score for the specific vehicle you have searched, all AutoCheck Reports contain the AutoCheck Score Range. This range will show you where similar vehicles score so that you'll instantly know if the vehicle you are researching is "in range".
