VIN checks by licensed private investigator in Florida

Buying a used car can feel like a win — especially when you spot a deal that seems too good to be true. But many cheap car listings on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or local classifieds come with hidden risks: stolen vehicles, fraudulent VINs, salvage titles, and odometer tampering.


At Rambo Investigations LLC, we offer professional Florida VIN checks in Florida to ensure your next vehicle purchase is safe, legal, and legitimate.


Why Florida VIN Checks Are Essential for Used Car Buyers


Every car has a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) — a unique 17-character code that identifies the vehicle’s make, model, year, engine, and manufacturing details. Running a professional VIN check can help you uncover:


  • Stolen vehicles – Avoid legal trouble by confirming the car isn’t stolen.

  • Salvage or rebuilt titles – Detect cars with prior severe damage that can affect safety and resale value.

  • Odometer fraud – Verify mileage accuracy to avoid being overcharged.

  • Ownership and lien issues – Confirm the seller has the legal right to sell the car.


Common Red Flags in Online Used Car Listings


  • Price far below market value.

  • Seller is hesitant to meet in person or provide documentation.

  • Vehicle listing contains inconsistent details or photos showing a different VIN.

  • Seller pushes for quick payment methods or unusually fast transactions.


Even if a deal looks perfect, a professional VIN check can save you thousands in potential losses.
