My sis and her husband are visiting after 2 years abroad. they just bought this 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe with a salvage title and are asking for advice since they have no experience with salvage vehicles.

I heard that we can get a car's window sticker by using the VIN. Where to get it online? Thanks in advance, everyone, for helping
 
A few sites like this vin window stickers site or even some free VIN decoder sites might give you the info you need, all you have to do is punch in the VIN and see what pops up.
 
If you want the sticker itself, you can check out MonroneyLabels and get the actual sticker. If you're after the information about the vehicle and not interested in the sticker, you should check out Carfax or Autocheck.
 
Yeah, if you're looking for the official sticker, MonroneyLabels is the place to go. But if you just need the vehicle history, Carfax or Autocheck are great options
 
shouldn't the dealership have this? Honestly I have no idea about this or why people want the window sticker, but my first thought was the dealer
 
You can obtain the original window sticker using the VIN. I've had success with windowstickerlookup.com and WithClutch.com in the past, both are reliable for Hyundais. Sometimes, Hyundai's official site can also be of help if you enter the VIN here:

It's a good idea to try that before spending any money. Also, have they looked into whether the salvage title mentions any issues with the frame or airbags? That's typically the major red flag to be cautious about.
 
Great resources for window stickers. When it comes to salvage inspections, make sure to look at the title details and consider getting a pre-purchase inspection. Pay special attention to the frame's integrity, the history of airbag deployment, and any signs of flood or collision damage.
