Don't Trust a Clean title, Check the History by promotervickky(m): 10:37am On Jul 15, 2020
It just occur to me that people, especially dealers have been making a mistake of buying a clean title which they claim is not accidented before import which is very true..........



But I like to shock you with this, all that glitters is not Gold!



A lot of People made the mistake of buying a clean title car without checking the history of it.


They are risks attached to buying a Clean title car without checking out the history of it.


What are the risks? Follow me down and see it!




What is a clean title?



A clean title is a car imported without any damage. A clean title is tagged a clean car before import, because it was not bought accidented.




Why am I so interested in this Topic? Follow me closely...........



It's because i have seen a lot of people who have bought a clean title Car, and intentionally refused to check out the ViN History all because it is a clean title!



Little did they know that they are putting themselves at risk.




What are these Risks?

#1. Buying a Clean title Car that had a flood damage.

#2. Buying a Clean title Car that had an accidental damage.




It is true that clean title cars is best to buy than a car that has been accidented because it has no dent before import, i totally agree with you!



But I love to let you know that a clean title car history should be checked, regardless if its clean or good looking.



Why?

#1. Flood takes place abroad than any other place in the world, and most of the car owners usually take their cars for repairs and continue using until export.

#2. A lot of Americans don't sell their cars at the auction just because it had an accident, they repair it and continue using it, and sell it off when they are tired of it.



What I mean is this: Many clean title cars have a previous accidental damage or flood damage, but repaired abroad and used until import to Nigeria!




How can I avoid this?



#1. It's very simple, run a ViNcheck on it to be on the safe side.

So a car is flooded and will have clean title after it was not reported to the insurance? But it will appear in your vin check?
Same thing, I have an accident.. Settled out of insurance, take the car to my garage & "fix"..
The accident will appear in you vincheck?

Sir you are speaking in the rubbish grin

Do you even know how the vin report you are hawking up & down is compiled??

The ComputerGlobal you talk about is my good friend, he doesn't reply trolls even if he is dragged. Maybe I should start doing the same thing

Nevertheless, even Gazzuz and Ikenna-lion king as well as other Gurus are dragged every now and then. I will also overlook this dragging

This is actually a legitimate question but why couched in such blatant disrespect? Was it really necessary, unless I'm missing some previous history (pardon the pun) between you guys?

OP, if you don't mind, please answer the question. Feel free to admit any shortcomings as well. Most here just want to learn.

Please I refused to answer the question because he was talking out of point. If a car is flooded or accidented bfr and fixed, it will be noted as clean title if it was not involved in any other casualties during pre-import.

I checked a ViN for a supposed clean title 2012 camry last week, it had 2 accidents-1 in 2015, the other in 2016. Fast forward to 2019 sale date, it was noted as clean title!

The pre-import pics are with me.

You're making zero sense.

Any VIN report you get is based on information reported to the insurance company and DMV. A car can be accidented or flooded and would still show as clean title without any history of such on its VIN report, as long as those incidents were not reported to the insurance.

Don't mislead people. VIN reports are great, but they're not at all the be-all-end-all for knowing a car's history.

Oh, and last time I checked, advertisements are banned on Cartalk. No one is trying to detract from your business, but let's all be guided.

I believe that you can still make your suggestions without any insults.

And who told you, I wrote this to advertise my business? This thing is getting me pissed off!!
