Check the VIN before Buying a Car
No matter how much you trust the dealer or the person from whom you are buying a vehicle, it is strongly recommended to check its VIN and the number stated in the documents. It is used everywhere: VIN identifies the auto on the title, insurance, registration and accident records. As long as the car exists it has the VIN and it will never be repeated even after the vehicle is taken apart and stops existing.
Vehicle identification number is unique for every car. It is its fingerprint and there is no other one like it. VIN is a combination of 17 numbers and letters which represent the country, the manufacturer, the body style, the model year, the assembly place and vehicle’s unique number under which it rolled off production line.
Many car thieves change the number and later on it brings headaches to an innocent car owner who has just forgotten to look at the VIN before buying the auto.
In order to check the identification number, look for a set of numbers and letters on the driver’s side of the dashboard at the bottom of the windshield.
