Why upgrade

What you're actually paying for

Not another history report — the tools, the prices and the privacy around it.

Buy-or-walk in one report

Specs, every recall, owner complaints, a reliability score, cost-to-own and a plain verdict — so you know before you wire the money.

Source in private

On Pro your lookups never appear in the public "Recent checks" feed. Competitors can't see the deal you just found. That alone pays for the plan.

Price a whole lot at once

Dealer values 200 cars at a time with an under / over-market verdict, exports every live listing to CSV, and monitors your inventory for new recalls with a webhook the moment one drops.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Where does the data come from?+
Every decode, recall and safety rating comes straight from public US government sources — NHTSA's vPIC and recalls databases and the EPA. Car values and market prices are computed from real, live US classified listings, refreshed daily.
Do you sell accident or title history?+
No. Accident records, salvage / rebuilt titles and odometer history aren't in public data — those come from our verified partner's full report, which we link to. ForCar focuses on decoding, recalls, market prices and research tools.
What does Incognito actually do?+
Free checks can appear in the public "Recent VIN checks" feed. On Pro and Dealer, your lookups are never published there — so nobody can see which vehicles you're sourcing. Your history stays private in your account.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel from your account in one click. Yearly billing saves you two months and is refundable within the first 7 days.
Is the API enough to build on?+
The Dealer API returns decode, open recalls and complaint counts as clean JSON, 10,000 requests/day, plus a Value API at 5,000 calls/day — authenticated by key or Bearer token. Plenty for inventory tools, listing sites and lot management.
