What is Vin? The record your car-buying agent reads
What the film shows
What is Vin? Say you’re buying a car — this film shows what runs underneath: every vehicle has a number, the number checks itself, and everything about your car sits somewhere on one public map of addresses.
Seventy seconds, no pitch: the seventeen-character identity, the four pillars — the facts, the work, the money, the agents — and the map you can search. Type buy and the tree narrows to your job: the history, the value, the close, each at its own address. The close is seven steps and four are yours: authorize, notarize, sign, pay. The last step stays yours forever — take delivery, be handed the keys.
