Hi All,

Upgrading my truck (1993 Ranger), so I got the 30 day Carfax deal while I research the replacement. If you need a Carfax report, drop me a PM with the VIN# and your email address and I will run it for you.

Bump- Any news?

Check your e-mail. I found his reply in my Spam folder.
I was hoping to find out more than I am the 5th owner, the car came from Texas, Failed emissions once, and passed 6 times. I mean...
I was hoping to find where it said something about where the car was wrecked in the front. What good are these reports if they tell you less than what you know?

None of these research places, including carfax are the be-all that they claim to be. Especially with our age of vehicles. I have an '84 F250 that quite obviously had a complete front clip replaced well in it's past, it has a clean carfax, the older they are the less accurate it is. Better than nothing for sure in most states, you have at least an idea if all of the recalls were done.

Just some commentary on the reports...

Newer vehicles have more data. One of the Rangers I was looking at had all the oil changes and PM in it - it all depends on what the dealers report back to carfax.

I look at where vehicle have been registered, how long people have owned it, how many people have owned it.

Obviously, not everything will show up on a report. If you run into a guard rail and replace the clip, how will they know?

I don't look at it as the end all beat all, but as a set of indicators to the true condition of the vehicle.

You might not tell if the vehicle sat underwater for a month after Katrina, but you can see that it didn't rack up many miles after it, and that it was registered there.

And they do actually have negative data in them sometimes. Some of the reports I've run won't make people happy. Mostly salvaged/rebuilt titles and a couple of odometer rollbacks.

At any rate, a clean carfax is a requirement if i am going to buy something.

pm sent,,,,,big A+ for you doing this for us....many thanks to you

Big A+ for you. Sorry I forgot to put my email in there.

ok, well, my carfax account is still working (figured they'd give me a hard time after another 34 reports!)

If you requested a report and did not receive it, let me know, as I have sent out all the requests I have received thus far.
