IMPORTANT NOTE: This app could save your life!
SNAFU Scan will alert you to potentially dangerous manufacturer recall issues at no charge.

Used car dealers do not care and do not check manufacturer recalls when buying and selling vehicles. Financially speaking, it would be “bad for business.” Do not put yourself or your family at risk. Use SNAFU Scan and scan the vehicle’s VIN number barcode to see any manufacturer recalls for any vehicle. All recall issues found by SNAFU Scan are fixed free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. 

Search “least trusted professions” and used car dealers come in second only to politicians. Since Henry Ford first rolled cars off the line, dealers have been sticking it to consumers through a myriad of shady practices. This app exposes (and shows you how to counter) the industry’s dirtiest tricks that used car dealers play on unsuspecting car buyers. 

Introducing… SNAFU Scan —the App Store’s only application that shows you what the dealer has invested in the vehicle from the dealer-only auction. Armed with SNAFU Scan you will no longer fall victim to unscrupulous used car dealers showing you phony auction receipts! 

When pressed, most dealers will show you an “auction invoice” of what “they say” they have invested in the vehicle. If their auction invoice says $10,500 and SNAFU Scan says the current dealer cost of that vehicle is $6,500—then they are either lying to you, or they have to be the city’s worst car buyer. This app will show you what the dealer could buy the vehicle for—in real time—at their police-guarded dealer-only auctions.

Using SNAFU Scan is fast, easy and accurate. Locate the vehicle’s identification number (VIN) barcode, open the app, enter the selling price, current odometer, and press SCAN. Your smartphone takes a picture of the VIN and in seconds you’ll see:

• The dealer’s investment in the vehicle 
• If the vehicle has ever had a factory recall
• What profit the dealer’s trying to make
• The SNAFU Scan’s Fair Price Offer
• Current status of the vehicle’s title*
• The vehicle’s accident history*
• The number of previous owners*
• If the odometer has been tampered with*
