Anyone here have the ability to run a carfax for a vin by chance? I know it is a long shot but figured I would try.

Oh good call!!!
Anyone that can run one I got one for ya too! Going to look at a commuter on Sunday.
carfaux is a joke.
my salvaged Blazer is proof.
remember, it only reports to you what is reported to them.
and nothing is reported to them doesn't mean it didn't take swimming lessons after being stolen and get a junkyard engine.
It's only good if the vehicle has any claims on it.It wont tell you much otherwise.
Same thing with running the vin with the dealerships.Just tells you what waranty repairs and recalls have been done..
My old Tacoma was wrecked a minimum of 3 times and nothing appeared on Carfax.
I always wondered what the allure of Carfax was. Looks like my question has been answered. [bulls]
Figuredthe more I am aware the better. Figured it can't hurt for free
We did a focus group of buyers and non buyers from our group in December and the overwhelming number of them said they put no faith in Carfax.
Yet every person who walks through the door asks for it. People are conditioned to take it as gospel.
All good points!
Member ran one for this morning. Is it all there, maybe not. It did give me more information than a perviously had.
Still always takes a good visual inspection. As a body man my whole life, always always check jambs for tape lines from paint. Best indicator of an accident!
I'm just looking for a POS to bomb around anyway. And as mentioned above, people swear by Carfax. Could be a leverage point in making a deal.
Get a pre purchase inspection, they cost so much less then a post purchase inspection.
I have made people cry after they bought a vehicle and had me look at it. One that stands out was a old Bronco II that they had bought a week prior for 2500. I found 3K worth of work 2K of which was safety related.
Anyone able to run a quick motorcycle VIN? Just to make sure it isn't stolen?
Also google free vin check and the insurance sites have a website that will tell you if its stolen or a total loss
The software in my shop now reports to carfax. Meh. I could stop it but I really have no issues either way with it.
