Auto Auctions - Wholesale

AutoCheck gets data from auto auctions -- companies that act as vehicle clearinghouses and help you get the vehicle you want by providing retail dealers with cars and trucks that sell best at their store. A vehicle that has been through one or more auctions simply is being moved from one market to another, and does not reflect the overall condition of the vehicle. http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/glossary

What is the AutoCheck Score?
Only AutoCheck vehicle history reports include the AutoCheck Score, a tool that enables you to understand a vehicle's past quickly and easily, compare it to other vehicles, and lower the risk of buying a vehicle with undetected problems.

Your vehicle's history can affect your vehicle's AutoCheck Score. Factors that can negatively influence the Score include:
Accidents
Mileage
Title brands such as salvaged or rebuilt title
Problems with the odometer such as rollback or broken odometer
Frame damage
Water damage
Whether the vehicle has been branded as a lemon
Whether the vehicle has ever been stolen or repossessed
Whether the vehicle has ever been used as a police or taxi vehicle

Think of the AutoCheck Score as a rating summarizing the longer list of report data. Paired with the AutoCheck Score Range, the AutoCheck Score allows you to quickly compare vehicles of similar age and class.
The AutoCheck Score title is full of insightful data: http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/autocheck-score

The AutoCheck Score is based on a number of key factors, including:
Age - In general, the older the car, the lower the Score.
Vehicle Class - Compact cars look nothing like pickup trucks. Their breakdown history can be just as different.
Mileage - In general, the more miles a vehicle has, the lower the Score, compared to similar vehicles.
Number of Owners - Our data tell us the typical number of owners that vehicles generally have over time. If a car has had more than the expected number, that can cause the Score to decrease.
Vehicle Use and Events - Other factors such as taxi use, accidents, repossession and theft history also affect the AutoCheck Score.

Where does AutoCheck get its data?
Developed by Experian, a global leader in information solutions, AutoCheck vehicle history reports are highly valued by thousands of auto dealers, leading U.S. auto auctions, and manufacturer certified pre-owned programs using the reports everyday to ensure they are bringing their customers the very best vehicles available.
AutoCheck vehicle history reports provide essential data from extensive sources:
Data is compiled from many sources including the Department of Motor Vehicles, auctions, insurance companies and other independent sources.
Police-reported accident information is available for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Critical information on storm-damaged vehicles and vehicles registered in Federal Emergency Management Agency storm damage areas at the time of major storm events.http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/autocheck-score

Where Can I Find the VIN?
The VIN can be found by looking at the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle. The easiest way to view it is to stand outside the vehicle on the driver's side and look at the corner of the dashboard where it meets the windshield. If the VIN cannot be found there, open the driver's side door and look at the door post (where the door latches when it is closed). It is likely that the VIN will also be displayed in this location. See the image below: http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/vinbasics#findvin

Look for the VIN in these other locations:
Insurance card/Insurance policy
Vehicle title and registration http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/vinbasics#findvin

Title Washing
Because title brand definitions vary by state, sometimes a title brand will not transfer to the title in the new state, which means the title becomes "clean." Unscrupulous sellers can increase the sale price of cars by "cleaning" or "washing" the titles by registering them in states where the title brands do not transfer.
AutoCheck can help protect you from such hidden title brands. AutoCheck receives title brand, registration and other important information over the life of the vehicle, regardless of where the vehicle is registered.
Even if a vehicle moves to another state that doesn't recognize certain brands, the AutoCheck vehicle history will still reflect all previously reported title brands. http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Brands or Branded
Words or symbols on the vehicle's official title issued by the state DMV that signify the vehicle's status or condition. Examples of brands include, junked, salvaged, lemon, rebuilt or reconstructed vehicles; flood, hail, or fire damaged vehicles; totaled vehicles; vehicles with odometers that have been rolled back or exceed mechanical limits; stolen or abandoned vehicles. http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/glossary

Calculated Accidents
Experian receives reported accident/damage information from a number of sources. Sometimes more than one source reports the same incident, which may have different event dates, case numbers or event locations. Other events do not have a date reported and could have happened at any point in the vehicle's history. AutoCheck calculates the number of accidents or damage events, so a report might show two or more reported accident or damage records for the same event. Not all accidents or damage events are reported to AutoCheck. It is recommended to have pre-owned vehicles inspected by a third party prior to purchase. http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/glossary

Corrected Title
The State DMV has issued a corrected title for the vehicle. Corrected title is defined differently depending on the state. In some states, a corrected title will be issued for removing or adding an owner’s name due to divorce, death or marriage. In other states, details about the vehicle, such as incorrect odometer readings, can result in a corrected title being issued. A corrected title can also be issued when a lien is placed on the vehicle’s title.
