Vehicle report questions
What does an AutoScout vehicle report include?
Reports include VIN-decoded vehicle details, market value ranges, a deal score, potential red flags, negotiation tips, an inspection checklist, and available NHTSA safety information. Reports are buying guidance, not a substitute for an independent inspection or vehicle-history report.
How does report pricing work?
Your first report is free, no card required. After that, buy a single report for $14.99, a 3-Car Pack for $29.99, or a 30-Day Shopper Pass with up to 15 reports for $39.99. All are one-time payments with no subscription.
Where does the market data come from?
AutoScout uses MarketCheck pricing and comparable vehicle data when available, along with VIN information and NHTSA safety data. Coverage varies by vehicle. If live pricing is unavailable, a report may include estimated market values rather than confirmed sale prices.
Is there a free report?
Your first VIN report is free after creating an account. Use SCOUT for one extra free report, for two free reports total. No card, checkout, or subscription is required. You can decode a VIN and enter vehicle details before signing up.
