    CARFAX says it has no current record of this vehicle. Maybe it's too new.

  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Well I don't mean to be in the least bit snarky, but if they told you it had a clean CARFAX, why on earth didn't they show it to you?

    You have an error in the VIN....there's no "i" after the 6--it's a 1.
  • boricuagtiboricuagti Member Posts: 2
    Yeah that was my bad, I just thought you could do the vin for me.thanks for the advice

    I need a carfax report on this vin #1P4GH4436PX765715. I am financially strapped and don't have the money to do this. My boss is helping me buy a car. And she wants a report on this. Can you help me?? Please? I would really appreciate it alot. And I would be more than willing to reimburse you for it, if you allowed me to make payments back to you. Thank you.

    Hey everyone. New to the forum but glad to be here. I'm looking at purchasing a 2004 Dodge Stratus SXT Coupe. I researched the carfax report for this vehicle and on the "teaser" page it shows 19 records. Now I know the purpose is to get you to buy the report, but 19 seems very high for a 2004. I have contacted the dealer but haven't heard back as of yet and this is something I have to take care of quickly as both the heat and suspension in my car are gone. Very difficult living up north. I am very concerned since reliability and safety are of the utmost importance. My daughter and my girlfriend's kids will be in the car with me. Any info/help here would be greatly appreciated. This is the VIN if it helps: 4B3AG42G84E065298. Thanks and I look forward to future conversations.

    That VIN comes up invalid. I'm not sure if CARFAX carries some motorcycle VINS or not---some people claim they do, but yours isn't working, so......

    AUTOCHECK run by Esperian might do it but you'll have to pay for that.

    I would think checking accident damage on a motorcycle should be pretty easy for a competent motorcycle shop. Also, you can ask your insurance agent if they can check the VIN for you.

    Given that a bent frame is a disaster on a motorcycle, and that CARFAX misses a lot of accidents, I'd try another approach on buying a bike--take it to a good shop. They know what to look for.

    Where can I track down my car using the vin number. Google lists all kinds of sites that extol free vin lookup but they all lie. They all want money.
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    If you mean locating an address where your old car lives, you aren't going to do that unless you are very well connected to Law Enforcement.

    If you mean a CARFAX report, sometimes people here will help you with that. But CARFAX is only good for cars new enough to have 17 VIN numbers/letters.

    clean!

    However do not presume that the car hasn't been in accidents. Be sure to have it checked over.
  • tsan1tsan1 Member Posts: 2
    Clean Carfax sweet. Thanks.

    I'll be sure to check it over for any exterior signs of an accident.

    For things related to service history on your Benz, you'd have to ask the dealer for those records. Those aren't public information and we'd have no way to access them. They are proprietary.

    I will appreciate if some one could get History for my Infinity JNKCV51E53M005602.

    Is this car worth 3500$ with newer vtec engine (110K on the engine)? Is it sketchy to buy?
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    edited October 2011
    It's high mileage and it's had a hard life, but you can't buy much for $3500. Keep in mind the old adage "whatever got you into a car cheap when you buy it, will haunt you when you go to sell it".

    I wouldn't buy it at that price. You can buy less tortured ones for that money and probably with fewer miles. It sure ain't no "deal".

    Could you please provide any information regarding this vin #
    1HGEM22913L019985
    Thank you!
  • okinokin Member Posts: 3
    Hi, so my friend was helping me to see what will the VIN 1HGEM22913L019985 reveal about the car. I run the carfax myself, but after late 2006, the records of the oil changes are not regular. The oil changes are recorded every 40 000 miles. What I figured about the car when checking it, was that right doors do not have the vin and have not very well repaired rust at the bottom of the doors. Also, 2-3 other spots have little rust, and there is a bowl-size dent on the roof.
    4500$ for this car?
    Please help, buying tomorrow.
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Well it probably has 125K miles on it by now with at best an "average" condition, so $4500 seems high by about $500 to $1000.

    2006 Chrysler Sebring, former rental out of Florida, 5 owners, no problems noted, 89,900 miles as of June 2011.
  • lakeside2lakeside2 Member Posts: 8
    Thank you very much! Is that good to buy a car that was rental?
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    I'd say it's a "neutral" quality. The car has to speak for itself, regardless of where it came from, so always best to have it checked out by someone. And of course research car values so you don't pay too much.

    ford F-150 Texas truck one owner no problems---looks good. About 33,000 miles on it.
  • wf71wf71 Member Posts: 3
    Thanks shiftright. Must be some more recent activity on this truck. Checked w/ my insurance co. for a quote, and they were saying it had two damage claims filed in '09 and It now has 89,000 miles. They couldn't tell what the damages were because they don't look up carfax reports. The truck was just repainted so it kind of has my curiosity up.

    Hmmm...the carfax doesn't show anything and the mileage could be 86K because the last mileage recorded was back in 2007.

    Well lots of accidents are missed by Carfax so you'd best have the car thoroughly checked out then. Carfax doesn't usually tell you what the damage was (once in a while they do) but the insurance company certainly knows the dollar amounts of the claims. If it's a large $$$ amount, you know it's serious, but if the claims are a few thousand bucks, that's nothing these days.

    I can't imagine why the ENTIRE truck was repainted, though. Are you sure it wasn't just some panels.

    A good body shop could give you plenty of info on what was done, by having them look it over.

    But really, on a 2005 vehicle that has already depreciated substantially, i wouldn't get too hung up on things like common fender-benders.
  • wf71wf71 Member Posts: 3
    Yea, i asked seller about the paint cause i saw a piece of masking tape on the headlight w/ paint on it and he said he painted whole truck because of some scratches. But yea ur right about not worrying too much about minor repairs.
    Thanks alot for your help sir.
