Carfax shenanigans

I have the unlimited carfax garbage for one more day. Give me a plate number and I can check the carfax for you. I can't do unlimited by VIN. Stupid carfax, I should have read the fine print. I didn't realize it was only for a couple days.

Range rover, no accidents or damage. 10 service records. The most exciting thing is a replaced O2 sensor. Looks legit.

Well that confirms the guys story I bought the car from. I have put 20,000 miles on since then. I never ran a carfax but the part of town I bought the car was iffy but the car was cherry. Here is a pic of it.

How old does car fax go?

98 mustang. No accident or damage reported. 3 owners. only 1 service record. last mileage was 77,291 in sept 2013. wow, pretty low.

LAWL. Guess the PO never reported the curbing that caused me to replace the axle shaft and half the front suspension. Also, 89k last reported? DAYUM It's at 186k now

who aaaaare you..... you are like a slightly younger female version of me. Creeping me out.

raygone > Mattbob
02/18/2014 at 14:52

Yep, thats her! I'm number 3, Sept 2013 is when I registered it so that adds up (79310 now for mileage). I was curious if the previous owner's glancing run in with a pole would show up but I guess it wasn't serious enough for it to lol.

Are you Hungarian? Because if you're the jerk who took the MAGYAR plates I wanted, then I'll be creeped out too.

Mattbob > yamahog
02/18/2014 at 14:58

haha, nope. Phew that was close. Now I can chalk it up to coincidence. Carry on. btw, get those plates because I leave work at 3:30, and I don't know if I will carry on this nonsense at home.

Awesome! Thanks!

Now I'm curious as to what ever happened to my last car. Don't know if Carfax will pick up on it since my plate wasn't the latest, but doesn't hurt to check right?

Massachusetts 191MK6.

Would also give you my first car, but I can't remember the plate and my photos are on a harddrive a thousand miles away at my parents' house.

Carfax says 2006? Weird? I know for a fact it was a 2005.

I guess that explains why the driver's side headlight isn't quite centered in its "hole". Can you try 44kw74? That one's our Jeep.
