Anyone looking at a used car to buy should check the vehicle history report before making the purchase. At JIM SCHMIDT CHEVROLET-BUICK INC., we encourage you to do this before deciding whether or not this is the car for you. It’s simple enough to do. All you need is the VIN located on the dash of the vehicle you’re interested in.
The vehicle history report provides information about the vehicle’s title status, its mileage, accident history, and previous ownership. You may even find details about how it was used. Since the VIN is used to identify the vehicle, it is also used by automotive service departments to keep track of the maintenance and repairs performed at their location. Maintenance records should be on the report as well.
All these details will help you decide if you want to buy the car and how much it is worth.
