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/glossaryhttps://www.auctionexport.com/en/Home/ReviewsAndTestimonials

The defect may significantly impact the safety, value or reliability of the car. Lemon laws protect the rights of buyers of vehicles that don’t operate properly and require repeated repairs for the same problem(s). In some states lemon laws compel auto manufacturers to buy back or exchange the lemon vehicle.

The car's vehicle identification number (VIN) is the identifying code for a SPECIFIC automobile. The VIN serves as the car's fingerprint, as no two vehicles in operation have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters (digits and capital letters) that act as a unique identifier for the vehicle. A VIN displays the car's unique features, specifications and manufacturer. The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts and insurance coverage.

VIN Decode Explained
What do the numbers and letters in a VIN mean?
What do the 17 digits in a VIN mean? See the breakdown below of the meaning behind each segment of the VIN:

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

Look for the VIN in these other locations:
Insurance card/Insurance policy
Vehicle title and registration
