TrevS Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Guys I am close to buying a supra but before I stump up the cash I want to be sure that the car has no dodgey history or outstanding credit against it etc. I checked the car throughly according to the buyers guide on here and everything seems to be in order but I'd like to get a data check carried out on the car for extra reassurance as its a private seller. Can anyone recommend the best website to get a car check carried out on and how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I just did a quick search and found an RAC data check for £5. http://www.rac.co.uk/web/vehiclechecks/status_checks/?source=R695&CMP=KNL-google-rac-vsc&HBX_PK=vehicle+check&HBX_OU=01 Has anyone used this one before and is it any good. The AA want £25 for what looks like the same thing Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Very good price that. I paid 25. There is one to steer well clear of though, think it's called Mycarcheck or similar. Good luck bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevS Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Good news everyone I just got an RAC data check done for £5. But this is the best bit. The check is actually done through http://www.hpicheck.com which normally costs £19.99 So if anyone is thinking of getting a data check done i'd advise using RAC as it will save you a good bit of money Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Guys, How long do these checks take before you receive the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If it's done using the RAC wesite directly then: "The report is delivered on screen to you immediately after you purchase it. You will also get an email with a pdf version of the results attached. You should save this email for future reference as you will require the reference number to update your check". https://www.raccheck.com/consumer/RACgeneralFAQ.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If it's done using the RAC wesite directly then: Thanks mate;) As a final question but will the RAC also provide you with the VIN number that's associated with the car VRN you input.
