Checking car numbers upon purchase is a guarantee of a calm and confident future of the car owner. It is worth spending a little time and effort to check car numbers, so that later you do not face the problem of buying a stolen car in the future.
Instructions
Step 1
Before making a purchase for a vehicle, when inspecting a potential purchase, first check that the vehicle body identification numbers, passenger compartment numbers and engine numbers match. They must match. Then check the data of the numbers with the data of the technical passport. They must match as well.
Step 2
Ask the seller in detail about the history of the car, where, when it was bought, in which car dealership, how many times it was sold and bought. Inspect the vehicle and its technical passport. You should be especially careful when choosing a car brought from abroad, from near or far abroad. Contact the nearest traffic police station, taking a ride with the seller in the car you are interested in. The State Traffic Safety Inspectorate will give information if the car is listed as stolen. Moreover, this applies to both domestic and foreign cars, since recently the Russian Federation has been receiving information about all stolen cars in the world from Interpol.
Step 3
In some cases, data on cars stolen abroad comes to the Federal base from Interpol with some delay. A car enthusiast manages to buy a car, and then it turns out that it is stolen. In this case, the purchase of a car brought from abroad is a risk that can only be reduced by conducting an expert study of the car. To do this, find out the location of the nearest department of the expert service or an independent expert who conduct this autoexamination, and check the purchased or already purchased car and all the documents for it. Such expert departments are located in Moscow and in all Russian regions. A forensic expert will assess the authenticity of all car parts, which can be replaced if stolen, and documents and numbers - forged.
