Our First Car

"After relocating to Ghana, we were on the search for our first car. Upon visiting a dealership, we were presented with what seemed to be our ideal vehicle. However, before finalizing the deal, we decided to check into the vehicle's history using InsideVIN. The report revealed significant flood damage. Thanks to InsideVIN, we avoided a potentially regrettable purchase and instead found a suitable car through another dealer."

The car looked perfect

"I made the decision to purchase a Citroen C5, and upon the recommendation of a colleague, I utilised your service. Initially, the car seemed flawless, but upon running the vehicle report through InsideVin, it showed hidden damage the Citroen had a salvage history, marked as junk. Thankfully, I hadn't transferred any funds to the seller yet. Thanks to InsideVin, I avoided a bad transaction."

Frequently Asked Questions

Think of a VIN like a vehicle's fingerprint. Just like how each person has a unique fingerprint, every vehicle has its own special code called a VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number. This code is like a secret code that tells you important details about the vehicle, such as where it was made, what kind of car it is, what year it was made, and other important information. It's a way for everyone, from car manufacturers to car buyers, to keep track of vehicles and make sure they're all different and identifiable. So, if you ever need to know more about a car, just look at its VIN!

You can typically find your VIN number in a few different places on your vehicle: 1. On the dashboard: Look through the windshield on the driver's side. The VIN is often visible from outside the vehicle, near the bottom of the windshield, on a metal plate or sticker. -------- 2. Driver's side door jamb: Open the driver's side door and look where the door latches. You may find a sticker or metal plate with the VIN printed on it. -------- 3. Vehicle registration documents: Your VIN is usually listed on your vehicle registration paperwork. -------- 4. Insurance documents: Your VIN is often listed on your car insurance paperwork as well. -------- 5. Owner's manual: Some vehicles may have the VIN printed in the owner's manual. -------- If you are unable to find the VIN, try contacting the seller of the vehicle. The seller can find the VIN on the vehicle or in the paperwork as outlined in the steps above.
