I do have 17 charaters, it shows on the carfax website as an 2005 997 C2S, was wondering if i could get more detail on the car, in light of the financial turmoil, I think this might be my chance to finally get a Porsche, I am looking to buy this car used from my local dealer.

My dealer also mentioned that the odometer was replaced at around 35k miles, however, I cannot verify this since the odometer is now reset to about 7k miles, is there any to determine the true mileage that was put on the car? Would it be possible to determine the correct mileage by using the Porsche service computer?

Here is the VIN again:

I tried to run it through Autocheck and it gave an invalid VIN

Autocheck has been better for me than Carfax

Dear Izzone,
Sorry I made a mistake on the VIN number, I mistaken an integer "0" for a letter "O", please refer to the correct VIN as followed and please run it through autocheck again.

Thank you so much!

Dude - This is pathetic! You don't want to spend 20 bucks on a carfax report and you are buying a Pcar?

I'm sure someone will help you out with this - just thought it was funny to see someone ask someone else to run a report. On another forum, they tore the guy up.

You have to have a sense of humor on these boards...

Exclamation

On some forums, this kind of request post is a violation of the TOS.

Seems if the car were clean and the dealer wanted to sell it to you they would run the CarFax report for you while you waited.

Pirated Carfax reports should be prohibited on this forum, as many forums do. The problem with someone providing a Carfax report to a third party is that their terms of service do not allow this. When you ask someone for a bootleg report, you are asking them to be dishonest and break an agreement they voluntarily made. This just isn't right. No different than stealing something, except you are also asking someone to help you do it.

If I were Carfax security, I would join a lot of car forums, search for these kinds of posts and go after the perpetrators.

Carfax can make a lot of trouble for our forum. Please do not respond to these posts asking for bootleg reports.
