Why is the VIN in a Used Vehicle So Important?

When you are shopping for a used car from Stop 23 Auto Sales and find something that you like, you can take the VIN and look up the vehicle’s history through certain resources like CarFax. Those resources can tell you if any accidents have occurred with the vehicle, along with how many people have owned it. Some maintenance history may also be available thanks to the vehicle’s VIN.

Other purposes for the VIN include:

  • Registering the vehicle
  • Applying for car insurance
  • Filing car insurance claims
