with access on your mobile phone for just $1.99," said Jim Irish, CEO of MobileTrac, the provider of instaVIN. "When competitive prices for a single report range from $29.99 to $34.99, many potential users simply forego this valuable tool or ask the dealer to supply it at their expense. We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to try instaVIN(TM) for FREE on their mobile phone to see how quick, easy and affordable Accident History Reports can be. Car buyers can now check accident history data while shopping on the lot without relying on a dealer to provide them with an up to date CARFAX report." The speed of SMS text message delivery is especially helpful to dealers at auction, when vehicles pass through auction lanes in a matter of a minute or two. Dealers traditionally had to run reports the night before or call back to their office and take a salesman off the floor to look up vehicle history reports online. Armed with accident history and market values, dealers can quickly bid on vehicles when time is of the essence. instaVIN's data is refreshed in real-time, providing the most up-to-date information in the industry. instaVIN's flagship product, Accident History Reports--available online or via SMS text message--are available for $1.99 to $2.99. Full Vehicle History Reports comparable to CARFAX or AutoCheck will be available on the website in a few weeks for only $6.99. For more information, visit www.instaVIN.com.
