OK - here's the scoop.  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.

i get it, you guys hate bronco's.

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.

Naw!

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.

He'll learn when someone else uses the CARFAX report he generated under his
own name for something illegal,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You have made this sort of point before, but it made no sense to me then,
nor does
it now.

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?

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.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

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.

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!
