Nice! I have a dealer account with Carfax, I will say that they really suck, not to mention being a frikkin rip-off! They have it set up so sneaky, unless you pay attention to what you're clicking, you end up paying for a more detailed report that you don't need!

yeah, and the only reported mileage on mine is 65 miles (now at 57K miles)...

I think carfax offers another level of detail... I should get some one to run the carfax on my car to compare...

Good News!


CARFAX 1-owner vehicle! These vehicles are often worth a higher price because they tend to be consistently driven and maintained.
Low mileage! This owner drove an estimated 12,775 miles per year, lower than the industry average of 15,000 miles. These vehicles can be a better value.

I guess thatthe FREE autocheck is just as good as carfax, EXCEPT you don't get the mileage breakdown that carfax offers...

Thanks Shoofin !!

This comes up for me


Invalid vin - 2hgen2465sh513642
The vin must match a vehicle currently offered for sale at the Dealership selected.
