I am organizing and making a nice history file on my car. I would like to add carfax to it. Does anyone have an account or extra search that can run my car?

 

Send me pm with vin.

 

Thanks Nimski !!!!

 

Nimski, me too please! PM sent.
Thanks,
Michael

 

Carfax is a scam and not worth the paper it's printed on. Don't waste your time.

 

The price is a rip off, but otherwise what makes you say that?

 

Thank you Nimski!
I'm convinced it's worth it.
When I bought my car, I used Autocheck. Now I'm comparing with CARFAX, I see CARFAX is more accurate.

 

I did Autocheck and Carfax on my car= both came back perfect but with a 993 I was looking at the Carfax showed accident while Autocheck came back clean.

 

Forgot to add after I told dealer the no accidents remark was deleted from his ad lol.

 

Some people may not be aware that there is a national database for insurance companies to report all property and casualty claims and to view previously reported claims. That system is referred to in the insurance industry as ISO - http://www.iso.com/

I believe that this is one of the sources Carfax draws from. Whether or not any particular claim makes it into ISO is determined by any of the insurance companies involved in a loss. Some insurers are set up to automatically feed claims data to ISO while others require their adjusters to do it manually. And people being people... some adjusters don't always get around to sending off that information to ISO.

To give practical context to this, I bought a 2002 Audi A4 clean car fax. I was in a motorcycle accident that left me on crutches for 9 months so I sold it for an auto S4 (couldn't push clutch). I traded the A4 back to the dealer I bought it from for the S4 and all of the sudden CarFax showed an $8000 accident on title from 2 years before I even purchased the car. Not sure why it took so long for it to show up.

A shop car a buddy of mine had showed a $15,000 accident, but it was actually $1500, carfax wouldn't change it even though he had proof, somebody goofed with an extra zero.

Think about your 911 and if you got into an accident it was $5000 to fix (smashed headlight fender etc).. Would you go through insurance to fix and take the hit on title or pay privately? At the end of the day the car is still in an accident clean carfax or not, it's an accident car. I know I can afford $5000 to fix my car and keep the title clean, so how many others do too? With that said, how many 911s do we own which are accident cars but show clean titles cause owners with money paid privately?

Car fax isn't worth the paper its written on, utterly useless.

 

It provides suspicious areas to look in further.
I don't mind $5K repair for 10 times as much car, but will care for more than $10K damage. Owner will use insurance because it's there for to fix the car. Those should show up on the report.
I agree that an honest system can only locked out honor people.

 

Been reading this forum for a few weeks as I'm looking at 911s (first time buyer). I found one being sold by a private seller and wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone would be willing to look up the Carfax - VIN wp0cb29956s76818.

Much appreciated!
