Carfax

pepsiaddict · 05-11-2006, 09:05 PM

Can someone please run a Carfax for me? I just bought a '99 GT conv. today and based on the price I think it might have been in an accident.

VIN: 1FAFP45X8XF118183

Now's a poor time to check.
I don't have a subscription any more but according to the website there are 11 records for the car.

I'm sorry, I've never really used CarFax before. Why is it a bad time to check?

theponyfactor · 05-12-2006, 06:30 AM

you usually check BEFORE you buy it

pepsiaddict · 05-12-2006, 06:30 AM

oh, I see what you mean :-P

Yeah, the car is in pristine condition, I've checked everything myself, I'm just wondering if there's been anything repaired.

My car was in great condition when i got it and the carfax cleared perfectly. Then when i got the car and had everything checked on after we bought it the mechanic found out that it had been wrecked and the frame had been straightened. Brand new front bumper, hood, front fenders, rear bumper, and spoiler put on.

nothing wrong with a car thats been in an accicdent all that matters if it was fixed correctly, I was in an accident in my car and i think it came out better than before

a salvaged car is worth poo...

check before... yer more likely to run into problems... especially if the car has a salvaged title or a BENT FRAME...

look at shadows car... bent frame... imagine buying that not knowing that ever happened...

people need to be more carefull when they buy cars

thats why my family buys all new cars... you pay more initially but you never have to worry about lemon problems or someone else beatin on your car...

And you have the joy of taking the depreciation hit as soon as you drive it off the lot...

Barely used and stock is the way to go.

pepsiaddict · 05-15-2006, 08:08 AM

It had 67,000 miles on it stock. CarFax checked out perfectly. Bought it for $11000. The only thing not stock was the upgraded K&N filter and a CDC Light Bar.
