Latest VINs resolved into the record
Maker prefix · descriptor · serial — the same three-color line as every card in the registry
File · resolve · keep
Records appear here while the lots are still live — photographs and deadlines from the auction houses, preserved exactly as written.
The VIN is extracted, the damage transcribed from the seller’s text — never inferred — and the Korean rendered to English once and stored.
The hammer falls and the listing vanishes from the auction site; the file stays. When the same VIN surfaces again, the new appearance joins its paper trail, odometer and all.
The damage class · as the seller’s text states it
The insurer wrote the car off entirely — repair was judged to cost more than the car. The heaviest class in the vocabulary.
Water reached the car. The seller’s account typically names engine, interior or underbody; the lot page marks exactly the zones the text states.
The seller’s text states the car as stolen — recovered damaged, or not recovered at all. Transcribed like every class: from the insurer’s own words, never inferred.
And when there is no stamp? Then the record holds no damage information — that is a state, not a verdict. An absence never means “clean”.

9 questions · plain answers
A closed auction where Korean insurers sell vehicles they have paid claims on — accident cars, flood cars, total losses. Only licensed dealers bid; listings run for a day or two and then vanish.
Type the 17 characters into the search above. If the car has passed through the Korean insurance-auction block and the record is on file, it opens: photographs, the damage record as the seller stated it, and every appearance of the VIN.
Yes, it is free, and no. Type a VIN and the file opens — no account, no payment, no email. Every record reads the same way for every visitor: the photographs, the stated damage, the paper trail. Nothing on a record sits behind a checkout.
Not necessarily. An empty result means no record for that VIN is on file — we never convert an absence into a verdict. It may have been sold privately, exported earlier, or damaged without an insurance claim.
We show the odometer reading the listing itself stated, with the date — nothing more. We do not certify mileage; no one can from a photograph. What we can do is line readings up: when a VIN appears more than once, each record carries its own odometer figure, and a number that goes down speaks for itself.
The car stood at auction more than once. Each appearance is filed as its own record, and the lot page links them into a paper trail: dates, odometer readings, stated damage, side by side. A car that returns to the block with lower mileage or a softer damage story tells you something no single listing can.
The damage class as the seller’s own Korean text states it — total loss (전손), flood (침수), front (전면), rear (후미) — transcribed, never inferred, and always shown in Korean and English together. A lot with no stamp is a lot whose record holds no damage information.
No — it means the listing stated no damage class, and we refuse to invent one. The car still passed an insurance auction, which is itself a fact worth weighing. Read the photographs and the seller’s text; they often say what the stamp does not. An absence is a state, not a verdict.
Yes — get in touch and we will walk you through it: how bidding works, what a lot is likely to cost landed, and what the record says before you commit. The Contact link in the header opens the channel we answer on.
The registry’s file · what a listing site doesn’t keep
A listing tells you what a seller wants you to know. We keep the file: what the listing stated, what the official databases answered, and what the paper trail shows. Where a check hasn’t run yet, we say so — an absence is a state, not a blank.
Ten zones, marked only where the seller’s own text states damage — nothing inferred, and an unmarked diagram never means “clean”.
In every new fileEach resolved VIN is checked against the official databases — campaigns listed KO + EN, with the date we checked and the date we’ll check again.
Rolling out · priority VINs firstThe same VIN relisted is the same car, tracked — every appearance dated, with the odometer’s movement between listings.
In every new fileClean-market price bands and model statistics, matched by model and year — shown only with a sample size and a refresh date, never as bare numbers.
Live · where a priced match existsThe registry, in full
Lots surface and vanish in a day — the file does not. Every record is kept while the lot is still live — the damage stamp, the VIN line, the deadline — and stays on file after the hammer falls.
