    Awesome site. Had all the info I was looking for and more I didn't think of. Knowing the dealers rating, particularly dealer comparison graphs, gives me negotiating room if they want a positive review.
  • Quotation mark
    Was free, fast, detailed and easy. I just needed a simple way to check on my own vehicle for my peace of mind without being told I have to pay or haVINg to put my email or phone number to have someone contact me back before I can have the info. Thank you!

(2) The vehicle it belongs to was manufactured in or after 1981, when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standardized VINs. (3) The vehicle it belongs to is a passenger vehicle that's registered with NHTSA for sale or importation in the U.S. and for use on U.S. roads.
Will the Kia Forte decoder tell me what's a fair price?

Is a Kia Forte VIN decoder different than a vehicle history report?

The iVIN Reports you see when you're using the Kia Forte VIN check are not the same as a traditional vehicle history report from AutoCheck or CARFAX. But most iVIN Reports do have a summary of the vehicle history report included in them. The summary can help you find out basic information and if there are any reported issues, including title issues, accidents, number of owners and previous types of use. If you want to learn more, you can choose to buy a full vehicle history report directly from CARFAX or AutoCheck. Some full vehicle history reports are included for free in the iVIN Report if a seller provides it. Please keep in mind that all issues may not have been officially reported. It's a good idea to do your due diligence, as well as have a knowledgeable mechanic inspect a vehicle prior to making a purchase.

Are Kia Forte VIN checks and Kia Forte chassis number checks different?
