Every vehicle produced since the early 1980s has a VIN history title report attached to it and this means your Saturn SC (produced since the early 1990s) that you're considering purchasing has a history report detailing exactly what it's been up to since its manufacturer.
Getting a VIN history title report is easy, you can go to your department of licensing with the VIN number off your SC, or you can hop online and get an online report within minutes. First of all you'll need the VIN (vehicle identification number) numbers off of the SC you're considering purchasing. You can find these numbers on the inside driver's-side doorframe or as seen through the drivers side windshield on the dashboard. Be sure to copy all of the VIN numbers down correctly, and then match them with your Saturn SC title. If these numbers don't match it means there's a problem with this SC and its title, and you might want to consider purchasing another SC.
With the VIN numbers on your Saturn Sports Coupe in hand, hop online, enter the numbers into Carfax or a vehicle identification history reporting agency and immediately you'll be given a report telling you how many reports are attached to this particular Saturn SC. In order to get a detailed report you'll have to pay a bit of money, but it's a bit of insurance against purchasing and SC that may have problems. The SC VIN history title report will tell you if this Sports Coupe has ever had collision damage reported from an insurance company, it will tell you how many owners this particular SC has had, if it's had flood or fire damage, hail damage, and even if there's suspicious odometer miles.
You may also see that this Saturn SC was used by a rental company, used as a fleet vehicle, or even a taxi, all of these reports give you an idea of the actual condition of this SC. A vehicle identification report should be received on any SC you're considering purchasing, it's easy to hide frame damage and you won't notice a strange smell until the heat of summer. And when it comes to suspicious odometer miles, whether the SC has the older style odometer or a new LCD odometer, there're those out there who can tamper with any type of odometer. So before you sign on the dotted line no matter how good a deal it sounds like for that SC, get a VIN history report so you can avoid purchasing an SC that is designated a lemon or has other unseen or hidden problems.
