bigdad · 01-30-05, 06:24 AM

this car has been totaled and issued salvage title, had more than one accident, has mileage inconsistencies as well....;you should spend the $25 to get a car fax acount...I just happened to be buying a BMW and noticed your request....and that this is your first post....so take my advice and pass on this one. If you want the full report, buy the service.

dreno74 · 01-30-05, 06:31 AM

Thanks for the insight...I just might do that

AcuraFan19 · 01-30-05, 07:22 AM

does the $25 unlimited check account give you full detailed reports or just a few select things?

Searchin4acoupe · 02-01-05, 01:01 AM

You have the choice of buying one report, or unlimited for 30 days. I did about 30 reports for people about a year ago and Carfax emailed me and made me "swear" that I was only using it for my own use and that I wasn't a business. I decided I had been generous enough and called it quits.

AcuraFan19 · 02-01-05, 01:04 AM

well if its unlimited and you paid for it, then they shouldnt be able to say anything. You paid for the service, you should be able to use it however you want.

CARFAX Talking CarTM
The story of this 1995 ACURA LEGEND LS (JH4KA8277SC002813) according to our interpretation of the information reported to CARFAX:
This coupe has had 3 owners and was owned in Illinois. It was originally registered to a company, like a bank or firm, to be used for business purposes.
It was involved in an accident in Michigan that was reported to the police. Its owner disclosed to an Oregon DMV or other CARFAX source that the vehicle was damaged.
It was severely damaged and issued a Salvage title by an Illinois DMV. It was later issued a Rebuilt title by an Illinois DMV, which allows for the vehicle to be repaired and returned to the road.
It was issued a Not Actual Mileage title by an Illinois DMV. This title is issued when the owner discloses mileage fraud or a broken odometer.
CARFAX found an inconsistent odometer reading. CARFAX is uncertain whether this reading represents a rollback or a source-level clerical error.
It was not reported by a DMV as a Manufacturer Buyback (LEMON).

Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:

Accident
CARFAX receives information on accidents in most states when an official police report is filed. The level of detail in the accident record varies by state depending on the state's accident report requirements. CARFAX recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection from your dealer or an independent mechanic for any car involved in an accident.

Damage Disclosure
The title issued when the seller indicates that the vehicle has sustained damage as a result of one or more incidents. The amount of damage varies by state.

Failed Emissions Inspection
The emissions check performed during a vehicle inspection indicated the vehicle was emitting more than allowable emissions standards and/or had missing or modified parts. Repeated failed emissions records can indicate engine problems and CARFAX recommends you have the vehicle inspected.

First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.

Fleet Vehicle
Vehicle was registered or sold to a company that manages vehicle fleets.

Mileage Inconsistency
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading but CARFAX is uncertain whether the discrepancy is a rollback or a clerical error, then CARFAX calls it a "Mileage Inconsistency". In this case, you should verify the mileage with your dealer or a qualified mechanic.

New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.

Not Actual Mileage Title
When the seller certifies, under the Truth-in-Mileage Act, that the odometer reading is NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. This may occur because the disclosed odometer reading was not accurate and verifiable.

Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.

Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.

What probably happened is in the wreck he had to replace the odometer.

The level of detail in the accident record varies by state depending on the state's accident report requirements. CARFAX recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection from your dealer or an independent mechanic for any car involved in an accident. Damage Disclosure The title issued when the seller indicates that the vehicle has sustained damage as a result of one or more incidents. The amount of damage varies by state. Failed Emissions Inspection The emissions check performed during a vehicle inspection indicated the vehicle was emitting more than allowable emissions standards and/or had missing or modified parts. Repeated failed emissions records can indicate engine problems and CARFAX recommends you have the vehicle inspected. First Owner When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership. Fleet Vehicle Vehicle was registered or sold to a company that manages vehicle fleets. Mileage Inconsistency If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading but CARFAX is uncertain whether the discrepancy is a rollback or a clerical error, then CARFAX calls it a "Mileage Inconsistency". In this case, you should verify the mileage with your dealer or a qualified mechanic. New Owner Reported When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles. Not Actual Mileage Title When the seller certifies, under the Truth-in-Mileage Act, that the odometer reading is NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. This may occur because the disclosed odometer reading was not accurate and verifiable. Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road. Salvage Title A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR. __________________ Ray 1993 Legend LS Coupe New Leather, Gold Emblems, Spoiler, Viper Alarm with Autostart, 35%/20% Tint, 17" MB Motorsport EXE II wheels (not shown in pic below) 215/50/17 BFGoodrich Traction T/A Engine Completely Stock (for now) Valentine One Radar Detector (so I can keep driving my Legend) http://members.aol.com/ray4hondas/im...idecropped.jpg
