If you think that paying $40 for a Vin Check seems a little steep, then you’re in luck:
We’re always buying and selling vehicles, so we try to find ways to save money without compromising quality; One way to save money is to buy a Vehicle Report OTHER than CarFax, since CarFax mostly charges for advertising costs. Below, you will find a few different, but detailed Vehicle Vin Reports that we have used to run Vin Checks on our vehicles before buying (and selling) them.
The Two $10 Vehicle Vin # Check Reports That I suggest:
Title Problem Checks
Checks for over 60 different types of title brands.
Junk, Salvage, and Insurance Record ChecksVerification across over 40 million junk, salvage, and total loss records.
Accident ChecksRelated accidents reported by state DMVs and other sources.
Odometer ChecksRecord of odometer recordings for catching rollbacks and tampering.
Vehicle and Title InformationHistorical title registrations and detailed vehicle specifications.

250 Vehicle Vin Brands (Salvage, Flooded, Total-Loss…)

[...] Title, but also for what reason, different “losses” mean different things, so be prepared! If you’re not ready to spend $50 on a CarFax Vehicle History Report, check out Vehicle-Buyer.com’s list of $10 Vin Checks by clicking [...]
Neither of these websites work. I just tried each of them twice. I have a history report I purchased for my girlfriend’s recently purchased Mazda 6 from AutoCheck and I was just curious how it would compare. VinAudit just freezes up, even when you try the VIN they have as an example. VinAlert has massive issues with the site itself. I can’t even stay on the first page for more than 2 seconds before the screen changes to another. I own and operate a mobile vehicle inspection service in Wisconsin and am always looking for quality reports. This was not a good first impression. I’ll check back again later.
Did you even try these services before you recommended them?
Of course I did. Both worked (and work) fine for me. It seems that you might have a virus or something else hi-jacking your browser… You say VinAudit freezes up for you? I just tried it and it pulled up the page no problem: (http://i.imgur.com/ZL2MF.png ). Ditto with VIN Alert (http://i.imgur.com/odLjc.png).
you might want to run a Virus Scan on your computer, Craig.

With VinAudit pulling up the page is not the issue, when you run the VIN, it either just stops working or goes to a screen the says “Sorry, the system is not responding”. A computer virus would not do that. I just tried it again and it worked this time. With VinAlert when I go to the last page it goes into a bunch of computer code. It misbehaves in a different way each time I use it. I have no other issues with any other sites or with my computer. It doesn’t give me much faith in the system.
Try it on another computer. If it still mis-behaves, I’d suggest contacting the support department of each company.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful
I just used the site and I got my report no problem for a car I was about to purchase. Thanks!
I just used VinAudit and it worked perfectly.
