I'm the founder of VinItel (vinitel.com). We built it for the step before you pull a full Carfax: a cheap first pass on every unit you're looking at, so the bad ones are out before you spend $40 on them.
What one report covers:
- NMVTIS title brands (salvage, flood, rebuilt, junk) and total-loss records
- Accident records, odometer readings and the ownership timeline
- Prior auction sales
- Open recalls and market value
Pricing is $8.99 for one report, $17.99 for three, or $59.99 for 20 (about $3/VIN). Every VIN gets a free preview first, which shows whether there are records before you pay anything.
What I'd like to know from dealers who buy at auction or from private sellers:
1. Would a cheap title-brand check before the Carfax actually save you money, or do you just pull Carfax on everything anyway?
2. What's missing that would make this worth adding to your appraisal flow? Bulk VIN upload, API, something else?
The offer: the first 10 dealers who reply here get 5 free reports. Make a free account on vinitel.com, then send me a DM with the email you signed up with, and I'll add the credits.
Roast it if it deserves it. That's why I'm here.
