Title Search

Why a Title Search is Important
Important events impacting the value of the vehicle you are considering could be hidden from you.
Some of these events:
  • Salvage
  • Rebuilt/Junk
  • Stolen
  • Broken Odometer
  • Odometer rollback
  • Flood damage
  • Water Damage
  • Accident damage
  • Repossessed
  • Used as rental
  • Used as taxi
  • Used as police vehicle

Many of these events do not transfer from state to state. The actual title may not reflect these events. You need a more complete picture of this vehicle's past.

The problem is that it is difficult to trace the history of vehicle, because there are a great number of places where the data could be. It would be very time consuming and expensive to attempt this yourself.

AutoCheck - Smart Move
AutoCheck has taken the pain out of the title search process. AutoCheck enables car buyers to quickly access the history of a used vehicle. By leveraging Experian's National Vehicle Database of over half a billion vehicles, AutoCheck may reveal possible undisclosed or unknown title or other problems, such as salvage and flood damage history that can affect an automobile's safety and value. AutoCheck vehicle history reports also have exclusive accident information from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Used vehicles with salvage titles sell for roughly 30% less than those with a clean history. Millions of cars per year receive a salvage brand. A salvage title is often issued by states when a vehicle is damaged and the cost to repair is significant, many times it exceeds the market value of the vehicle. This may be associated with an insurance company declaring a vehicle a total loss. Sometimes these severely damaged vehicles are rebuilt, and issued a rebuilt or reconstructed title.

Problems sometimes occur when a salvaged and rebuilt vehicle is sold in another state. These title brands do not always transfer in the new state and the title becomes "clean". Unscrupulous sellers can increase the sale price of rebuilt cars by "cleaning" the titles by registering them in states where the title brands do not transfer. It is important to know if the used vehicle you are considering ever had a salvage brand. Worst case is buying a used car which has a salvage brand that you don't know about.

AutoCheck vehicle history reports gather the history of each VIN number providing you with the best available information for your car buying decision.
