Everything you need to walk away from a bad car, and negotiate a good one.
Title history & brands
Salvage, junk, flood, lemon and rebuilt title brands, the deal-breakers.
Odometer / mileage check
Every reported reading, flagged for rollback and clocking.
Theft & total-loss
Whether the car has been reported stolen or written off.
Full specs & recalls
Decoded from the VIN, plus every open NHTSA safety recall.
Real running costs
The car’s actual EPA MPG and what it costs to fuel each year.
True 5-year cost to own
Fuel, insurance, maintenance, repairs and depreciation, the number nobody else shows you.
Same essential checks. A fraction of the price.
We focus on the checks that actually decide a purchase (title brands, salvage, odometer, theft) plus the cost-to-own the others leave out.

Common questions
How is this different from Carfax?+
We surface the core checks that decide a purchase (title brands, salvage, odometer, theft, salvage-auction damage) and add the true cost to own that Carfax doesn’t show, for a fraction of the price. Carfax charges $44.99; we charge $6.99. We are independent and not affiliated with Carfax.
Where does the data come from?+
Vehicle history (title brands, salvage, theft, total-loss and auction records) is sourced from a licensed US vehicle-data provider. Specs and recalls come from NHTSA, and running costs from the EPA’s fueleconomy.gov. CarWorthIt is not an approved NMVTIS data provider and our history report is not an official NMVTIS report.
Is the preview really free?+
Yes. Specs, safety recalls and running costs are shown free for any valid VIN. You only pay if you want the full history and cost-to-own report.
Do I need an account?+
No. Enter a VIN, see the preview, pay once if you want the full report. No subscription, no login.
