Theft & Fraud Awareness

NICB's VINCheck (https://www.nicb.org/cps/rde/xchg/nicb/hs.xsl/vincheck.html) is a service provided to the public to assist in determining if a vehicle has been reported as stolen, but not recovered, or has been reported as a previously declared total loss vehicle by cooperating NICB members. To perform a search a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required. A maximum of 5 VINCheck searches can be conducted within a 24 hour period.

"It does not provide access to the records of self-insured vehicles, rental fleets and insurers that are not NICB members, a gap the National Automobile Dealers Association would like to see filled."

Don't forget to rep people! It's free and easy to do!

Thanks everyone for making me bold again.

A free way to check out used cars

Insurers offer buyers a new resource for uncovering vehicles' hidden histories of theft or damage. It's a great start, but nothing replaces a good inspection.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau has unveiled an online database into which consumers can plug -- free -- a vehicle identification number to learn whether a car had been stolen or badly damaged in a wreck, flood or fire.

VINCheck looks like a bargain compared with Carfax's Vehicle History Report (single report $24.99, 10 reports $29.99, unlimited use for $34.99, reports posted free by many auto dealers online) or Experian's AutoCheck Vehicle History Report (single report $19.99, 60-day unlimited use $24.99).

thank you!!

cool, gotta give it a try on some nsx's

Wow, thank you! You just saved me a trip from checking out a car that has a salvage title! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

This is so very timely! I was reluctant to pay carfax for a used vehicle from a private party.
Thank you! and repped! *edit*.. not allowed to rep this post... I appreciate it anyway.
PEACE

It won't let me rep. Maybe you have too few posts. Thanks anyhow!

thanks

Thanks OP!

Thanks.

Thank you! My daughter has been looking at used cars...this will be very helpful!:bounce:

It's not nearly as detailed as Carfax. Though it will cost you some, a vin check via Carfax gives details like past smog test results, accidents that didn't total the car, even tune ups. For a multi thousand dollar purchase, I'd spend the marginal extra for the peace of mind.

On a side note, the poster has 5 posts, 2 of which he was the thread starter. The 2 that he was the thread starter are ads for his business. That would explain the low number of posts and his "un-repability".:lol:

can some one run AutoCheck on this VIN # 2HGES15561H615239 and send me the report sampr01 at gmail dot com

Nice, thanks!

nice thx will used and repped

thanks. thumbs up

I agree with postholedigger. Carfax is alot more detailed. From what I saw...this site doesn't really show you anything significant other than the vin is legit. It doesn't even show the make, model, year of the car. This site is kinda pointless. If you are buying cars from used car dealers...they usually have carfax's for you. If that still doesn't satisfy you...then run your own carfax or get someone to do it...ie. car forums.

Thanks

site was working yesterday, now its down. Any other links?

pm me the vin

Thank you!

i tried on a salvaged title vehicle that i own and it came back clear.
