what's your email address? I signed up for the "other" vehicle history report while shopping for a car.

the other vehicle history report is worthless

[GeorgeG.]

Yeah, I noticed that after I had signed up for it. Unfortunately, Car Fax uses license plates when you sign up for unlimited vin's and since I was looking at "dealer" sales I needed the VIN option.

Just trying to help a brotha out. It's all I have to offer at the moment.

but when you buy the unlimited, you get 5 by VIN

Autocheck doesn't show ANYTHING! LOL

Autocheck checks out fine for this vehicle. 1 owner, no damage history, but last reported mileage is 26 so that is when it was new.

I'm interested in seeing what carfax shows. Right now we are set up through autocheck, but carfax people call me twice a month trying to get me to switch at about double the cost. We sold 5 vehicles last month and none of the customers carfax reports reported anything different. I'd just like to know if the extra expense is justified.

And sometimes carfax shows too much. Almost lost a sale on an 01 prelude cause carfax showed that it was in a total loss front end collision, even though it was obvious that the car was never hit. Ran an autocheck on it and it showed fine.

Sounds like the Car Fox was yanking your chain.








Thanks for the email, George! I appreciate it!

Carfax goes off of accident reports and all kinds of stuff.

It found a bedside replacement on a truck I had that Autocheck didn't. You could see that it had been replaced when you actually went over it with a fine tooth comb.

I'm just saying, I won't buy anything worth a shit without running a Carfax. Because that's what dealers run when you go to trade it in.

I thought it was the customer trying to BS me, but I saw the report. That car was absolutely perfect.
