Accident Information

Find out all the accidents a vehicle has been in. This is useful as a bargaining tool and to evaluate road worthiness of the vehicle.

Salvage or Junk Status

Protect yourself from vehicles with a "salvage" title that are bought and resold by unscrupulous sellers. Vehicles with a "salvage" title shouldn't ideally be on the road. But many times people are able to sell them at close to blue book values because the buyer doesn't know better.

Flood, Fire or Hail Damage

Find out if the vehicle has ever suffered sever flood, fire or hail damage.

Odometer Rollback

This is the single largest source of fraud. It is very easy for a mechanic to "fix" the odometer so that it reads much lesser than how much the vehicle has actually run.

Lemons

Some new vehicles have severe problems that the car manufacturer decides to repurchase the vehicle. Such vehicles are termed "lemons" and sometimes find their way back to the market.

Gray Market Information

Sometimes vehicles manufactured for a different market in a different country may find it's way into a market that have stricter or different emission and other standards.
