BUYING A USED CAR
• VIN check and VIN decoder for any 17-character VIN: year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission and equipment.
• Scan a VIN barcode, or snap a photo of the VIN plate, door sticker or windshield.
• License plate lookup: find a car's VIN from its plate and state. Vehicle data only, never owner details.
• Accident and title checks: reported accidents and damage, title brands, salvage, flood and lemon records, odometer problems and previous owners, where records exist.
• Listing history: past asking prices, price cuts and relists, with days on market.
• Market value, trade-in value and what a dealer pays versus asks.
• Open recalls, safety ratings, complaints and service bulletins.
• Rebuild the original window sticker from the factory build, with options, packages and MSRP.
• Ask AI anything about the exact car you're looking at.
• Compare cars side by side, with notes, tags and inspection checklists.
OWN A CAR

I’ve used this app for years. It tells you all the standard specs of your vehicle based off the VIN. I’ve exclusively bought older vehicles, so having the specs for what came stock is very important, as many owners don’t document work they’ve done, and knowing what likely came stock, helps bridge the gap between new, and someone’s uncle’s cousin’s girlfriend’s ex brother in law’s work. You’re also able to make changes to certain aspects of the vehicle based off of the current state. My current truck is automatic 4WD, but if it had been swapped to a manual 2WD, I could note that in there for the next owner. Or if the motor was swapped, that could be changed, and you can update the mileage. Overall, great app.
Best used car APP Bar None !

This App is GREAT for searching used car listings! This app is a “ One Stop shop “ when searching used car listings, it tells you exactly what options are on the car , compares prices on other cars in your area . When it compares prices it only compares very comparable vehicles with the same equipment to help you compare apples to apples . And it gives you all this for free ! You can order a CARFAX within the app for a discount of $10 as far as I can tell . A APP that gives you exactly what it promises!

This is a must if you are considering the purchase of a used auto! This app helped me understand why a very nice looking car at a seemingly decent dealership was not listed on all the major sites (where one can see a CARFAX, AutoCheck, etc) - because the car had 140,000 more miles than stated in the midst of its convoluted description (and why “0” was listed by MILES and why there was no photo of the odometer). Now, I will know better. Busted, you jackasses!!
Very helpful app!!

This app is very helpful if your trying to buy a used car. I was looking at those used 2016 scat pack challenger and I looked up the vin number of the car and found out it was in an accident and rebuilt for selling. I’d definitely recommend this app if your trying to buy a used car from a private seller or even a dealer.
