Aggregated Data

One of the biggest wins for iSeeCars users is the sheer number of vehicle listings. This site aggregates listings from 75 percent of all used cars in the country, similar to searching Kayak or other flight or hotel listing aggregators. You can view three-quarters of all used car listings, all on one site.

Data Analysis and Ranking

The biggest win for iSeeCars users is that each listing is analyzed, scored, and ranked with pricing and dealership information. It shows which sales prices are a great deal, a good deal, a fair deal, or a bad deal.

Users can easily see which cars are overpriced, best-priced, and other data points, like recent price changes, vehicle owners, and previous accidents, among others.

The search engine even allows users to sort vehicle search results by several different specs and data points, including:

• Body style 
• Cargo room
• Days on market
• Drive type
• Features like Bluetooth, heated seats, leather interior, or a backup camera
• Fuel economy
• Fuel type
• Head room
• Horsepower
• Interior or exterior color
• Leg room
• Market segments like luxury or sports cars
• Manual or automatic transmission
• Mileage
• Price
• Seller type — owner or dealer
• % below market price
• $ below market price
• Power to weight ratio
• Price per horsepower
• Price per gas mileage

Vehicle History Report

iSeeCars offers a free vehicle history lookup using a car’s vehicle identification number (VIN). The free VIN check uses big data analytics to add transparency and reliability to car shopping. It is available for used cars from the model year 1981 and newer. The detailed VIN report is a cross between a market analysis and a history report.

Free VIN data and insights include:

• Best time to sell or buy a car, to get the best price
• Condition — odometer mileage, pros and cons, vehicle history, recalls, theft records
• Dealer scorecard — score comparisons with price competitiveness, transparency, and responsiveness
• Depreciation information
• Listing history — details about where and when the car was previously listed or sold by dealers, etc
• Price analysis — fair value calculated by looking at similar pre-owned cars sold or for sale in your local area
• Price history — changes to the cars price
• Recall Info — information from dealerships about previous recall repairs and open recalls that still need attention
• Title or lien information from the department of motor vehicles (DMV)

There is even an iVIN Chrome Extension. It helps consumers see VIN check reports for cars, vans, pickup trucks, or SUVs when you search for a car on third-party sites that list VIN numbers, including

• Autotrader
• Cars.com
• Craigslist

iSeeCars VIN Report mobile apps are also available for easy access to free reports when you scan a car’s VIN with your mobile device.

• Selling Your Car
• Flood Damage

Selling Your Car

Users can’t directly post their car for sale on iSeeCars. For now, you can post to Craigslist and it should be up on iSeeCars within a few hours.

Flood Damage

Users need to keep in mind that the free VIN lookup has lots of helpful data for buying and selling, flood damage will not be explicitly stated. However, a consumer can check 5 VINs for free per day via the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) VINCheck.
