CARFAX & AutoCheck for Dealers — Bulk VIN Reports from $4.99
If you source 50, 100 or 500 vehicles a month, paying $44.99 per CARFAX report is indefensible. autoVIN gives dealers the same official CARFAX, AutoCheck, Copart, Manheim and IAAI data per VIN, at a fraction of the price, with credit packs and an API so your team can screen inventory at scale. No subscription, no monthly minimum — you buy credits and burn them as you source.
Why Buyers Choose Dealer & Bulk
- Same official data as buying direct — CARFAX, AutoCheck, Copart, Manheim, IAAI — at up to ~90% lower cost per VIN.
- Credit packs that scale with your volume. Buy in bulk, no monthly subscription, no per-seat fees.
- API integration so your DMS or sourcing tool can pull reports automatically before you bid.
- One dashboard for the whole team — every report link stored and re-openable for 90 days.
What This Covers
- CARFAX reports for title brands, mileage rollback, accident and ownership history.

- Top up credits as you source. No lock-in, no monthly minimum.
Why dealers overpay for vehicle history — and how to stop
A single CARFAX report on carfax.com is $44.99, and the "dealer" plans lock you into a monthly subscription whether you source two cars or two hundred. For a high-volume desk that's thousands of dollars a month in screening cost before you've bought a single unit.
autoVIN resells the same official report data per-VIN, so your effective cost per screened vehicle drops from $44.99 to a few dollars. You buy credits in bulk and spend them only on the VINs you actually evaluate — the cars you pass on cost you almost nothing to check. That changes the math on pre-bid diligence: you can afford to run history on every lot you're considering, not just the ones you're already committed to.
Built for the auction-sourcing workflow
Dealers and exporters sourcing from Copart, IAAI and Manheim need more than a title check — they need the auction photos, the primary damage code, the run-and-drive status and the wholesale price context before they commit a bid. autoVIN bundles those sources for the same VIN in a single transaction, so your buyer sees the CARFAX title history AND the Copart pre-bid photos side by side.
For teams running a sourcing tool or DMS, the API lets you pull reports programmatically — feed it a list of lot VINs the night before a sale and have the history waiting when your buyer logs in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much cheaper is autoVIN than buying CARFAX direct?
A single CARFAX report on carfax.com is currently $44.99. autoVIN single reports start at $4.99 — up to roughly 90% lower per check. At dealer volume the gap compounds into thousands of dollars a month.
Is this the same data as official CARFAX and AutoCheck?
Yes. autoVIN is an independent reseller of official CARFAX, AutoCheck, Copart, Manheim and IAAI report data on a per-VIN basis. You get the real report output, not a synthetic summary.
Do you offer an API for bulk lookups?
Yes. We provide an API key for dealers and high-volume buyers so your DMS or sourcing tool can pull reports automatically. Contact us with your expected volume and we'll set up access.
Is there a monthly minimum or subscription?
No. You buy credits in bulk and spend them as you source. There's no monthly subscription, no per-seat fee, and no minimum — unused credits stay on your account.
Can my whole team share one account?
Yes. Reports purchased on the account are stored and re-openable for 90 days, so your buyers, recon team and sales staff can all reference the same history links.
Which reports are most useful for auction sourcing?
For Copart and IAAI lots, the pre-bid auction photos plus primary damage code are essential. For trade-in and acquisition pricing, Manheim wholesale context and MMR. For retail-ready inventory, CARFAX or AutoCheck title and accident history. Most dealers bundle two or more per VIN.
How do I get started as a dealer?
Use the Get Dealer Pricing button to tell us your monthly VIN volume and which report sources you need. We'll set up a credit account and, if you want it, issue an API key. There's no onboarding fee.
Does a vehicle history report replace a pre-purchase inspection?
No. History reports are risk screening based on recorded events. For serious acquisitions, combine the report with auction photos, a VIN verification on the vehicle, and a physical inspection where possible.
