Hey guys my buddy is lookin at a ford focus and wanted 2 make sure the title was clear before buying it.. If someone could do me a HUGE favor and check this VIN for me I'd really appreciate it. I know a lot of you have unlimited Car Fax or w/e... Thanks guys

Why would you trust or even have Car Fax give you an estimate on what has or hasnt happened to you car. I used to have a galant and was in 4 decent wrecks and NOT one thing was on car fax. Same with some of my friends cars.

Well this is for my friend and he wants to check. Car fax IS good at finding a R title and mileage check. And the four decent wrecks you were in obviously were not turned into the insurance company because if they were they would legally (in the US) have to be turned in the the Department of Vehicles in your state which does a report and carfax picks that report up. So yea its good at double checking.. obviously have a tech look b4 u buy.. but it is a nice peace of mind.

Just go to your dmv, I think they do it for free. How does carfax optain this data?



Posted by: chorro

and why would you trust having someone else on this forum check it for you?? What if someone purposely told you that it was a salvage title only so that you'd be discouraged and not buy it and then that prompts them to rush out and get the car at a better deal

I'm just saying it would be more secure to check with your local dmv instead since they would have the actual record history on the car

obviously they were because I needed a new hood and bumper and damages were over $3K so yes they were. Second wreck was a new back bumper an window and that was around $2.5K YES all of them went through the insurance because they were not my fault
