Do not trust VinAudit
Do not trust VinAudit. I just bought 2 used cars this past weekend for me and my son. Due to the cost of Carfax, I used VinAudit on the first one. The VinAudit only showed 2 mileage readings for the 2005 Nissan we ended up buying, one mileage in 2010 and a current mileage of "exempt" since it is over 10 years old. The VinAudit report also showed no accidents, flood damage, etc. The next day we bought a Carfax package to check another car we were looking at. We decided to run the Nissan we bought on Carfax to compare to the VinAudit report, and we discovered the Nissan had been in an accident where it was declared a total loss, and instead of having 144,000 miles as reported by the seller and showing on the (likely replaced) dashboard, it had 270,000 miles!!! We were very falsely reassured by the VinAudit report. Carfax is expensive, but when buying something as expensive as a car, you need accurate and detailed information.
