PrivateAuto Adds Title Checking to Our Transactional Marketplace
We're excited to announce a new feature that makes buying a used car even safer on PrivateAuto. You can now perform a quick title check on any vehicle you're interested in, right from your PrivateAuto dashboard.
Enter the car's VIN into our title check tool, and we'll give you a report on its title status. You'll learn:
Why does this matter? Buying a private-party car is a big deal, and there are plenty of scammers out there. You don't want to end up with a vehicle that has hidden debt or a troubled history. Worse yet, you don’t want to wind up the owner of a stolen vehicle. Our title check steers you around these pitfalls.
If you're selling a car, you can use this feature too. Running a title check on your own vehicle shows potential buyers that you're transparent and trustworthy. It can also surface issues you may not be aware of. You’ll be able to see your car’s title from a buyer’s perspective.
We're always looking for ways to make buying and selling cars safer and easier. This new title check feature is one more tool to help you transact with confidence on PrivateAuto.
