Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:

Collision Repair Facility
A collision repair facility specializes in repairing vehicle damage caused by accidents and other incidents. A vehicle inspection completed by your dealer or a professional inspector is recommended.

First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.

Junk Title
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.

Lease
When someone leases a car from a dealer, the dealer actually sells the vehicle to a leasing company. The leasing company then collects payments for the vehicle from the new owner for 24, 36, 48 or more months. A leasing company can be an independent car dealer or a car manufacturer.

Mileage Inconsistency
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading but CARFAX is uncertain whether the discrepancy is a rollback or a clerical error, then CARFAX calls it a "Mileage Inconsistency". In this case, you should verify the mileage with your dealer or a qualified mechanic.

New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.

Personal Use
Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.

PenancE

well yea doesnt say salvaged, but junk, and for junk, big accident, and odometer tampering...what u think my luck is?

fsttyms1

My friend ran a car fax on a car he owned since 2 miles on the odo that he ordered and carfax came back with info like that (but it was never titled to anyone else or totaled) sometimed they are wrong?

As for your info having a salvaged title should have been disclosed and on your title at purchase

PenancE

well when i bought it was written up as slavaged/stripped, as in just using the car for parts......but it still would say salvage in the carfax right?

DarkBlue

That's pretty much the case when a vehicle has been issued a Junk Title/Certificate, its not 'road worthy' and can only be used for parts (at least in Illinois). Since CARFAX searches DMV records, it will at least return results based on data currently on file.

It seems that someone 'walked ' the title through and got it come up as 'clean'. Usually this can be done by a licensed rebuilder/repairer and someone in the DMV (in the title section). Once in the system with a new title number, it's good to go.

What does your title state? and what date was it issued?

PenancE

title says

salvaged/stripped

got it in august 11, 04


in the carfax it said that the junk title was issued on 04/30/2004 Pennsylvania

PenancE

heres the registration for when it came to ontario... does say anything bout the title, and im guessing the part where it has "brand" is supose to be the title..correct me if im wrong..


page 2 has nothing, only currect registrant and vehicle history, has nothing...all blanks.

DarkBlue

I am assuming that your car was issued a salvage title (the DMV treated the 'junk' title as a salvage title), and it passed inspection.

Now the bad news...
When you take it to the dealer for 'any' issue, they will run the vin# and will tell you flat out that it is not covered for warranty work. I know this because that's what I went through when I took my 99 in for a misfire (bad coil). They knew it was a salvage vehicle and that all warranties where null and void.

Though I could be mistaken, I am 99% sure that means no new tranny...

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

It says the car was registered in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

It looks like they pulled a switcharoo on the title. They launder titles all the time from state to state. I don't remember the specifics, but a junked car in one state would have a junk title, but once it's registered in a new state, it is given a new, clean title in that state. I bet if you call up the DMV in both NJ and Pennsylvania, they will both have records of the vehicle, and one of those states would have a junk title (you mentioned Penn) and the other state would have a clean title on file, most likely.

PenancE

sob...i was chattin wit my mom, and we might trade this one in to the same guy i got it from, for another tl, or maybe a sebring i like some off them tho....put some nice rims on it, all i want is a big luxury car...but yea if we can get a good deal on another tl...might be sold..got this one for 16k as said up there...

PenancE

ahh so thats what they did....thats so gay....cuz like 5 months after, it came to ontario, and yea, herei am with it...thats some jewish shit....well im gonan try taking it to like 3 dealers tommorrow, hopefully wont die on me while im going, and gonna ask em to do a vin check and see if i can get the tranny on warranty....how should i approach the guys at the dealership fellas? tell em straight up, salvage, or just ask em to check out my tranny, all help appreciated....my first car so yea....lol..

DarkBlue

I wouldn't mention the salvage title at all, you are looking to get your tranny serviced. It may not come up as salvage at all.

I reread your carfax, and it stated:
01/27/2004 69,269 Collision Repair Facility
Pennsylvania
Vehicle inspected after an
accident or other incident.
A vehicle inspection completed
by your dealer or professional
inspector is recommended

I interpret this as the insurance company totaled this one and reported it to the state. Most of the majors do this to keep the vehicle from qualifying for full coverage in the future (and paying for another loss ).

So the vehicle was bought as salvage and repaired then titled in Ontario. That's some slick, shady .

PenancE

yea tell me about it, i got fucked.....ill most likely be buying a domestic...lincoln ls, or maybe a 300m....i can get good deals at ford, cuz i did do coop there, and my teacher/mechanic is the oldest one working their so yea we'll see tommorrow....thx a lot guys..

PenancE

wooooo maybe i wont be leaving the 2g forum....

called a friend of mine, his dad has a 4spd tranny in stock, wit 40kilometres on it...probably gonna get that one installed...and an aftermarket powertrain warranty too.....damn....fucking acuras/hondas wit their glass trannies..

JMAL

unfortunately you are right about that laundring. they loop hole is that "junk" and "salvage" mean different things in different states. since there is no consistancy, there are certain states that you can move a car to that will clear it(get lost in the paperwork). then when moved to another state its either clear or has conditions on it like yours. i believe another state that this can be done with is kentucy.
im sure members from the nyc metro area have seen all the private used car dealers with some suspicious cars, when i was looking, about 80% of the acuras i saw were from "PA". to get past all that crap , i bought certified from the dealer. i steer clear of PA cars.
best of luck with swapping it out.

ACURATECHTX

Did you say you payed 16 ,000 for a 99 salveged tl .... wow
you can pick up a clean 99 tl in houston for 8,500 to 10,000 all day long..

Phesto

PenancE

got it in 04, for 15k in total (show up top), CDN. plus i was supose to buy the aftermarket powertrain warranty from the same guy, but didnt, i fucked myself...

optomos

Thats Canada money bro.

RickRoush03

sometimes carfax is wrong in the way it reports things, its all inputed by a human, so just think of how many schmow's during the history of your car inputed something and could give 2 flips if the car said 66k or 60k or 69k.

PenancE

yea thats some jewish shit...

brighter note, i can get a tranny for 2 grand CDN installed, its a used 4 sped wit 34k on it, not miles. so its fairly young, and i can get an aftermarket warranty from my bud that can cover me for as many years i want, so far 5 years...his father specializes with acuras and hondas...so he knows the tricks of the trade also...

im saved!!

but no rims for now!! booo
