What's a VIN?
A VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique "fingerprint" assigned to a vehicle to allow it to be identified. All vehicles currently made in quantities over 500 are required to have a VIN number assigned to them.
Buying a used car can be a stressful process. Unlike buying a new car from a dealer that comes with the comfort of a factory warranty and an unwritten history, buying a used car is like inviting a stranger into your home. There are the facts that someone previously has owned the car, and its condition is based on that person’s ability to maintain it. You’re spending potentially thousands of dollars on the word of some guy you just met on the Internet who obviously has an incentive to do what it takes to sell the car you’re interested in. Wouldn’t you like a way to verify his claims? That’s where the vehicle history report comes in.

I have to say any form of rational buying decision went completely out the window. I sat down with a salesman (who obviously knew he had an easy battle) and wrote up the car that very day.
