On the other hand, if you are buying it from an individual...go ahead and spend the $30, cheapskate...lol...it could save you in the end |

(who ever owns it now) Car fax suxs you in with that. but 5 reports is normal for a 2nd hand car. |

Post Number: 903 Registered: Jan-06 | When you open hood,check all screws (heads) , if there is any marks from tools(sockets,wrench...),then car was repaired.Check out all VIN labels! on a fenders,bumpers,doors,trunk!Check around the windows if there is any marks from masking tape! In the trunk,see if the plastic retainers all good and the same! |

Gold Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 1316 Registered: Mar-06 | Like Jen Said. My wife works in the fraud unit for a large insurance company. If I call her with the licence plate number of some jerk that just cut me off, she can, in a matter of minutes get the guys car info, driving info, and cell number so I can call em and give em a piece of my mind. It really blows ppl away when you call them from behind them calling them names. "Good driving Jerkwad" What? whos this? "me" as I drive by giving the finger. Funny as hell. |
