From everything I've seen the car is in perfect condition, so feel free to bid well in excess of the asking price. Indeed it would appear to be such a creampuff, you should feel comfortable bidding twice the asking price.

unfortunately there's nothing mechanically wrong with this one. Picked it up for $220 CDN. Runs great, everything works, immaculate interior, but just a few scratches or dings on the outside. We're primarily going to use this as an off roading vehicle, not a daily driver.
My friend and I have been fans of bronco's for a long time, and someone actually had the decency to run a carfax report, and privately email it to me.

We hate cheap bastards who try to get someone else to pay for their CARFAX search, and slimeballs who use the CARFAX reports for illegal purposes.

Why would a Carfax report give you information that you could use illegally, when anyone wanting to "clone" a VIN number could do it a lot easier than that. Spot a car on the street similar to the one you want to clone, write down the VIN number and do the illegal.
People who do this have little to fear because they sell a stolen car with a falsified VIN number to greedy people who want something for nothing. Then the huckster is long gone by the time the authorities catch up with the game, leaving the new "owner" with a hole in his bank account and no car.
Carfax is not an instrument of this scam, unless you know more about it than you have divulged to date.

You are doing things a.s-backwards my friend. By running the carfax BEFORE buying the car you have information to base a purchase on. I do have to ask this one simple question though - why would you think that someone would be interested in spending their own money to run a carfax report for a cheap person like you.

Well, the last person to post a carfax report just plain didn't believe it when it said it has liens on it and was sent to salvage in another state then sold to get a new title in yet another state to try and lose the paper trail so the repo man can't come and take it back for the 'real' owner or lien holder, so....
How can you use a Carfax report on a Canadian car? They are American aren't they?

They are American > aren't they? That last person who posted a Carfax report provided a link with his carfax id. I checked out his report, then out of curiosity, entered my own VIN. I got a report, and it even showed some of the service history, like oil changes and such done by the previous owner. I bought the car when I lived in Ontario but now I live in BC. The report shows my registration renewals in BC as well.

I know of at least three vehicles in Canada that have Salvage registrations that Carfax didn't even come close to identifying.

My T-Bird was an official "total loss" as of Feb 2005. I'm still driving it 40,000km later. I also "borrowed" a report from that poster's link a few days back. As of Oct 1995 (the last entry), the car still has no accident claims.

MasterBlaster - 12 Jul 2007 02:13 GMT > can some one please run a carfax for this > > vin #1N4AL11D75N467368. Originally sold in Southern Mongolia. Stolen and recovered in Rekjavik, Iceland. Shipped by mule train to Queensland, Australia. Carjacked by terrorists while on a ferry and driven to Florida. Stolen again, found in Alaska. Had been damaged, so replaced engine, transmission, suspension, electrical system, fuel system, interior and body. Finally sold to a little old lady from Pasadena, who only drove it to church on Sundays, with the occasional drag-strip run. It's a creampuff. You should buy it right away!
