First, find out the VIN code of the car, which gives the bulk of the information. It is a sequence of numbers and letters. This code began to be assigned to all cars that were produced after 1980. This set of numbers and letters carries the manufacturer's name, model code and year of manufacture.

Also on the Internet there are many services that will help you check the car for a deposit, the history of carfax, provided that the car came to us from overseas. If the first owner bought this car in a car dealership, then be sure to find out in him how the purchase of the vehicle was paid: in cash or on credit.

Remember that poorly readable numbers on the main components of the machine are also a sign of its "dark" history.
