    Hi everyone,

    I’m currently in the market for a used car and keep hearing about the importance of checking the vehicle history report.

    I understand it shows accidents, service records, and previous ownership, but how reliable is it?

    Has anyone here made a decision based solely on a vehicle history report, and did it turn out well? Also, are there any specific red flags I should look for?

    I’d love to hear your experiences or tips on what to watch out for.
