Millions of cars are sold at car auctions. Each of them has a history and is worth checking to make sure you know exactly what you are buying.

Detailed Vehicle Specs

Conducting a VIN number lookup is the most reliable way to see all the features of the car. Sometimes the seller does not list all the features of the car. The VIN report shows the year of manufacture, engine power, fuel and transmission type, and more.

Actual Mileage

Odometer fraud is a very common problem when buying a rescue machine. Some dealers may return the odometer to hide the actual distance of the car. In general, if a car is five years old, it must register at least 60,000 miles. If you see a lower number, it is better to do a VIN number lookup. You can avoid fraud by comparing the odometer results in the report with the vendor’s data.

Real Loss Type and Damage

Rescue vehicles are often damaged as a result of a collision, fire, hail, or flood, and their loss types indicate this damage. But until you do a history check, you can never be sure what the car went through.

Also, many cars are listed under the Rebuilt title. That is, they were restored and repaired before being put up for auction. If you see “Rebuilt” in the description of the machine, you can find out what kind of recovery head it has before the repair using the VIN report.
