Don't be surprised if the authorities contact you and ask you why you are doing a Carfax on a stolen vehicle. Asking for a Carfax is a common scam among car thieves. When YOU do the Carfax, it cannot be traced to THEM!!!! > Noozer <dont.s...@me.here> wrote in article > <ytJMh.52659$DN.4024@pd7urf2no>...

There is a local guy that wants to trade me this Sport Trac for my truck so I wanted to check it out first.

You look it up, database hit generates a police inquiry, police come to *your* door asking what you know about the stolen vehicle; you can't trace the anonymous name being used by the OP through a botnet machine, so you got a lot of 'splainin' to do, Lucy.

But why would the crook want a Carfax report? He'd probably use the car in a crime then abandon it or sell it to a fence or take it to Mexico or chop it for parts. Why would he or the fence want a Carfax? I suppose it's conceivable but doesn't seem too plausible... > Seems obvious to me from what he said. Guy steals a car, asks in the ng > for a CarFax lookup. You look it up, database hit generates a police > inquiry, police come to *your* door asking what you know about the No, I don't believe it. Suppose a stolen car is offered for sale on the side of the road near me. I go look it up on Carfax [I wonder if Carfax shows stolen cars as such?]. I see something I don't like, and decide not to buy it. Am I going to be arrested? Simply looking up the VIN of a car that has some shady history is not evidence of any kind of criminal intent on the part of the person doing the lookup. It _is_ possible, I guess, that a criminal might want to use Carfax to see if a vehicle is currently reported stolen before he offers it for sale, and I can see why he wouldn't want that transaction being traced back to him. > Seems obvious to me from what he said.

There is no payoff to a thief going this route... Thieves work on something that pays off. > Noozer <dont.s...@me.here> wrote in article > <ytJMh.52659$DN.4024@pd7urf2no>... [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > When YOU do the Carfax, it cannot be traced to THEM!!!! How do you know it is stolen? Is there a site to look it up? I do not want to buy a stolen vehicle. Please let me know, thank you. Noozer, How did you find out about the "restored" title? The guy that owns it paid for a full CarFax and it does not show that. Can you email me the info you got? Seriously, I'm concerned about this purchase and if this guy is a scammer I want some proof... plus I will likely report it to the authorities. thanks LivinOne ..at.. gmail.com > Deary deary... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > - Show quoted text - |
