ClassicCars.Com Partners with instaVIN™ to Bring Vehicle History Reports to The Classic Car Market

PHOENIX, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ClassicCars.com, the world's largest online marketplace devoted to classic and collector vehicles, and instaVIN™, a leading provider of vehicle history reports, announced a partnership that provides the availability of instaVIN vehicle history reports for ClassicCars.com dealers, buyers and private sellers. By partnering with instaVIN, ClassicCars.com, already an industry leader with a collective inventory worth in excess of $1 billion at any given time, becomes the first major classic car classified site to integrate vehicle history reports. ClassicCars.com has also been named as an affiliate for the instaVIN service.

"ClassicCars.com is always on the lookout for premium services to add to our portfolio that will benefit our entire audience, dealers, buyers and private sellers," said Roger Falcione, Founder and CEO of ClassicCars.com. "The availability of instaVIN vehicle history reports is a great resource that helps buyers buy with more confidence and allows sellers to provide more vehicle transparency. We selected instaVIN to be our classic car vehicle history reporting partner because of their superior history data, report quality and overall service."

instaVIN is the only major history reporting service that provides vehicle history reports for classic cars (vehicles older than 1981). instaVIN reports provide title history, junk and salvage events, insurance total loss events, open lien status and historical sales and listing data. A free record check and free VIN check are provided prior to purchase and reports are just $6.99.

"We are excited to work with the industry leader in bringing the only history report of its kind to the marketplace. They are working with us to provide a superior product at a competitive price to the channel," said Jim Irish, CEO of instaVIN. "The ClassicCars.com team is highly professional and will represent our product well to the dealer and consumer markets."

Of particular value for dealers in the ClassicCars.com Dealer Network is the ability to link a ClassicCars.com account with an instaVIN account and purchase reports in bundles that can be applied towards the vehicle listings of their choosing.

"This is one of the reasons that we list all of our cars on ClassicCars.com," said ClassicCars.com dealer Harry Clark, of Classic Promenade in Temecula, CA. "The ClassicCars.com team is always forward-thinking, adding valuable services to its site for dealers. Until now, we couldn't provide our customers history reports; through ClassicCars.com and instaVIN, this information can be accessed, protecting and informing both sellers and buyers."
