I added an americanvin report to my for sale listing online for my car. People told me they really appreciated that aspect. I think it helped me sell it quicker to be honest. Best $20 investment I've ever made.

A friend told me about AmericanVin as an alternative to Carfax. I ran a report on a motorcycle I was going to purchase to verify it didn't have any issues. I got the report immediately for $19 and it definitely helped me make up my mind. Well worth the small fee.

I had purchased Carfax in the past when I was selling my car to help aid in the sale. This was half the price of Carfax and had more info! What a great deal. Highly recommended.

Got an e-mail from person named Sam to sign up for discountvin.com vs Carfax. Don't respond like I did - if they are legit the Craiglist e-mail relay will work. "Is your ride still for sale? I'd like to talk to you. Not all of my CL messages have been making it through for some reason.

If you can, please email me direct at my personal account -

SamRuck53(at|Gmail)

Talk to you soon.

Thanks.

Sent from my iPhone"

Tip for consumers:
Don't use americanvin.com or discountvin.com - use carfax.com or autocheck.com

Whether this company is legit or not they certainly engage in very questionable practices. You'll get a legitimate sounding email from someone on Craigslist asking you questions about a car you have for sale. When you respond with an answer you'll get a reply that says, do you have a VIN report? If not try these guys (Americanvin) I've used them before etc... This wastes consumers time and is just straight unethical. I can't imagine why anyone would do business with a company that engages in practices like this when there are so many others that provide the same service.

Americanvin ig great for the price! I ran a few cars I was looking at (I am in the market for a used car). Some came back good, some did not! Moral of the story? Its worth the $20 if you are spending that much money on a vehicle!

I used AV to run a report for a motorcycle I am selling to show people that there are no issues with it. The report was inexpensive and came basically right away. Thanks!

Ran a vehicle history report for the car I was selling. I added it to my online listing. I got a lot of calls and finally sold it! The report showed that it was clean. Only $20. Good deal.

These guys troll auto trader and Craigslist for business instead of paying for legitimate advertising and building their business on good practice. Who cares about how it compares to Carfax if you're cheating your way through.
