Misconceptions:
- Online VIN checks (e.g., Carfax, VIN Che) are often only about 40% accurate.
- These online tools might not catch critical issues like liens, stolen status, or title limitations.
Importance of Accuracy:
- For a 100% accurate VIN check, it's essential to perform checks in person.
- Convenience of online checks comes at the cost of potential misinformation.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Visit the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV):
- Go in person to request a VIN history.
- Sign an information request form as required by federal law (DPPA - USC 2725).
- Note: The DMV can only provide lien and prior owner information, not salvage or stolen vehicle details.
- Check with Local Law Enforcement:
- Visit a Police Department, Sheriff’s Office, or State Patrol in person.
- Provide the VIN number to check for stolen vehicle status.
- Ensure to get the results in writing for future reference.
- Verify with the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS):
- This system checks for flood cars, salvage vehicles, parts-only vehicles, and export-only cars.
- Note: The DMV might not always have this information on hand.
Key Advice:
- Always get documentation in writing from each source.
- Avoid relying solely on online VIN checks like Carfax—they may miss critical information.
- Completing all three checks is crucial to avoid buying a car with a bad history or title issues.
