VIN Scan Technology At Your Fingertips

by Kimberly Ann

If you have ever wanted to have an edge in the car buying process, or at least a solid standing ground, we have a great solution for you…and it doesn’t cost a penny.   Here at AutoSaver.com, we have developed and released our new App that allows you, as a consumer to scan any VIN from your iPhone then plug in the mileage, along with dealer asking price.  The App will then calculate and show you how that vehicle’s price compares to current average market prices…all on an easy to read diamond meter.  Great information to have at the start of your negotiations. 

Ok, let’s walk through a scenario together…

You’re driving by a car lot and you see a ‘like new’ Ford E150 Cargo Van that you could really use for work.  So, you pull in the lot, get out of your car and immediately open the AutoSaver App you recently downloaded.





  
From the dashboard, you press ‘Scan a Vin’ and proceed to capture the VIN with your iPhone camera.  The van’s VIN then comes up on your screen, as seen below:



Now, you simply add the dealer’s current asking price, along with the van’s milage, to view where this van’s current asking price is in relation to average market prices.



As you can see, this particular van’s price of $25,000 is currently $1,066 below average market.  Now, as the salesman walks up, you know where you stand.  So you negotiate some more, buy the van, and your pocketbook lives happily ever after.

Every VIN you scan is added to your watch list, so you have the capability to review what you have previously scanned.  If you are unable to scan the VIN, you have the option to enter it manually.  



This App is a definite must have if you’re looking for a smoother auto buying process.  It takes the ‘fair price’ guess work out of the equation…saving you time and ultimately MONEY.

Where do we get our data?  Good question.  All of our data is backed by Black Book…The Gold Standard within the auto industry.
