Free VIN Report Myths

May 11, 2010 - PRLog -- A free VIN report (also called a free VIN check) may be be free, but it is not the only way to decide on that used car.

The free VIN report is a service provided by an insurance fraud company. It scans a database of reports made by insurance companies who participate in this program.

The report is not comprehensive enough to make a final decision on, one representative from a Free VIN Check website said.

In fact, the free VIN report may omit certain stolen cars simply because the thefts were not reported to the program and are not in the database. This means the car you enter could still be a stolen vehicle even when the free VIN check says it is not.

Just because the free VIN report comes back negative, it is not a sure sign the car is a winner, the source said. It is always safer to get the complete car report because this lists all the information on the car. It includes both accidents (which are not on the VIN report), thefts, flood damage, oil changes even service stops.
