Ok so whats up with the CL for sale thats supercharged on autotrader, Only 7200 and supercharged. I know I have seen this car talked about b4. But whats the deal with it other than the ugly ass seats and what not? Sorry couldnt get the link to work for me. Anyway just wondering??

 

do you mean this one https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/okay-whos-cls6-767527/

i still have yet to find out what the deal is with that car.

Someone needs to look it up on carfax

 

i was thinking about getting it and converting it back to stock and then flipping it,but its not really worht the money. it wouldnt go for 15. and even then it will be really hard to find a buyer who would pay that much for it.

 

I bought my TL for a little less than that a year ago.. with 60k miles

 

I still doubt it has those miles. Someone needs to run a carfax on it

 

Ummm you said that already!!

 

It's overpriced for several reason's the buyer probably will have to pay to remove the hideous red stitching, It will definitely need a major service done to it because it has pretty much been sitting for 3-4 years on dealer or auction lots and the car is 7-8 years old. The paint is bad because since it hasn't been taken care and who knows if there is anything else wrong since most of the places that have had this car are very vague when asked questions about it.

 

I said it in the other thread, but it looks like it was rear ended.

I just wish they totaled it out because that car needs to be put out to pasture.

 

might have also been a "show car", so was never really driven, but either way that interior is , especially the steering wheel

 

it has probably been beat the shit out of by the dealers pushing it too hard and people test driving it all the time

 

So i clicked on the carfax part and it said there were 18 reports for it lol so that doesnt sound good.

 

but each one of those reports could be that it was serviced at the dealer though

 

I tried checking mine when I first got mine.
I don't know what I was doing and I didn't pay for a service.
It said I had a crazy # too.
I would like to check mine for the heck of it.
Even thou it really would not mean crap because if something gets broke ,it gets fixed.
I also plan on hanging on to it.

 

I'll be generous enough to paypal someone $10 to help buy a report on it.

Reason is, i've been so damn curious about this for months

 

Carfax shows 18 records, AutoCheck shows 19.

And IIRC AutoCheck doesnt show service in their history, so thats 19 events.

Instead of paying for the CarFax, call the dealer, act like your interested and ask them to fax you the CarFax report.

 

^this

 

but that autocheck might also be that is was put up for sale and such by the dealer though, or was registered at the dmv, and bought also, so probably not all accidents or such


and anyways most dealers, you just enter the vin, and the report should be free, and pop right up i thought

 

Yea, it would show a title change, but if there are 19 of them (gross exaggeration, I know) it should still raise some red flags for a car thats only 7 years old.

Oh, and this same dealer is currently selling a Ford box truck. Who knows how they treated this car on the lot.

 

My car has 18 records on it and almost all of them are service records

 

Carfax or Autocheck?

I have 7 records on my car (prior to my ownership).



The only service records are Inspections, and thats because Auto Check doesnt pull the service records. Car Fax actually had less records on my car then Auto Check.

The re-title in 2006 was when the PO paid off the car. They only put 13k miles on the car from 5/2006 to 8/2008 when I bought the car.

 

yeah but carfax is wayyyy more detailed in each record

 

so is someone going to buy the carfax or not?? im tired of hearing the same old news about this car. next person to start a thread about it better have bought the carfax or the car...

 

Carfax does not always show every record. A member here (can't remember the name but his 6MT was stolen twice) ran the VIN after his insurance company paid him and it shows the car being re-registered, but never stolen or having a rebuilt title.

x2

 

If someone here paypals me $10, i'll buy the rest

 

very easy to do, register it in another state, and bring it back, it wipes the record, especially for salvage titles (here in Colorado, Texas registrations don't fully transfer here), reason why they need a nation wide database, and not just by state

and BTW carfax is optional for insurances to report to, it is a business afterall, and why the hell would a insurance report it, when they can make more money on it with a "clean" title

 

and WTFing hell, it use to be like $10 a couple of years ago for a report not the $35 now

 

just emailed them about it (go to their website, and they got a contact more info thing at the bottom)
so will see how it goes

 

can anyone help out jacobpockros with $10?? i too am really curious about this car, and we could finally find out.

but first someone should try and get one from the dealer. let's do it Azine.

 

^how about you help me out?

 

^ How bout you suck it up and drop the extra $10?

 

How about you go stand out side walmart with a can and hustle up the dough.

 

Insurance companies don't report to CARFAX they report to a third party company in regards to claims and that info gives the year make and model and VIN of the vehicle(s) involved in the accident. CARFAX, AUTOCHECK and similar companies access these reports and get the information from them. The problem with this is all lot of small no name insurance companies don't report to this third party company, also if that accident isn't reported to Police or DMV they will never show up and in many cities Police won't take a report unless there are injuries in the accident. Many times there are accidents that are worked out by the parties involved those will never show up or even single car accidents that the owner didn't want to involve their insurance because they didn't want it to go up those also will never show

CARFAX and similar services are meant to be used as a guide they are by no means full proof and are just another tool we can use to get as much information about a vehicle so we can make an educated decision on a purchase. Using these reports as well as getting the vehicle inspected by a mechanic and or body shop will always be the most full proof.

 

Same to you. I should'nt have to be the one who pays for all of it

 

The hell with you guys. I just bought the report:











Mileage Rollback

 

lol, you caved in and bought it LMFAO


yes they say roll back, fair enough, but even then the mileage before it was only like 12k though, so like 20k total now

 

I would never buy it.

 

cant believe you spent 10 dollars on that report

 

no that you bought the report

it is actually like $35

 

even worse
