What changes when every car has a VIN.

Before

Guessing at the car.

Most sellers don’t post the VIN. You guess the trim from the photos, value the wrong car, and find out on the phone.

✕ “Is the VIN in the post?” Usually not
✕ Texting the seller for it and waiting
✕ Valuing a base model like the top trim

Is there anything to set up?

No. It runs on every listing in your feed automatically, the moment the listing lands.

Can I filter to cars with a VIN?

Yes. Turn on Has VIN to see only cars where the VIN was found.

Does the VIN show up on alerts?

Yes. When a match lists, the VIN and the decoded car are on the alert.
