Auto VIN Scout — AI Risk Intelligence for Cars

Auto VIN Scout is an AI-powered risk intelligence platform built for used-car buyers who are tired of making $10,000 to $40,000 decisions with incomplete information. The seller always knows more than the buyer. It starts with a VIN lookup that decodes vehicle identity and factory specs using NHTSA data, then fires 8 parallel AI agents to surface price drops, relists, time-on-market anomalies, flood exposure, crime signals, and reliability sentiment. Flood scoring blends FEMA hazard proximity with Open-Meteo precipitation data to flag vehicles that may have been in affected areas. Recall density gives buyers model-level context before they spend money on a deeper inspection. The platform uses Bright Data SERP API to power theft sentiment, crime OSINT, price prediction, and visual salvage detection, enabling risk signals that static VIN databases simply cannot provide. What makes Auto VIN Scout different is the output: instead of dumping raw data, it generates a buyer guidance checklist with inspection questions and seller negotiation prompts tailored to the detected risk signals. The goal is simple buyers walk into conversations knowing exactly what to ask. Built for first-time buyers, remote shoppers, budget-conscious families, and independent inspectors, anyone where the seller has more information than the buyer.
