skulptr Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 would be interesting to get a carfax back on my rig, see where shes been all though, carfax is not a complete report, you must know that. not everything that happens to a vehicle is reported, and isnt a solid base of information. my last car was totalled, and had the roof replaced from 3 inches above the door. carfax came back clean on it when i bought it. a year later stress cracks and rust started showing through the paint. took the interior covers off, and found the cars white color, a big nasty weld mess, then maroon metal the rest of the way up, on all 6 pillars. did a little more research on the car, found out it had been slid into a pole and it came down and crushed the roof in. guess this is just a warning to do more research than just relying on a carfax report alone. inspect the rig extremely throughly, exhaust, pillers, paint changes, anything that might give off a signal of any kind to you.

Precise1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yes, true but it is a good starting point and will usually supply some maintenance info (if done at a dealership), owners, origin, emissions, etc. Better check the terms and conditions of CarFax subscription before soliciting or supplying information. Just saying... Hey Bud, I haven't talked to you in a while. Everything all good? So is it another pathy?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaritimeMan Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 No, unfortunately I'd had my fill of workin on my Pathy. Right now, it's a toss up between a Xterra, or the rig I'm going to look at today, '04 Dodge Ram 2500 HO Diesel. You know me, I'm a sucker for a black smelly cloud.

silverton Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Any further discussion of this should be done in PM. Carfax pays people to scout forums like this to track down people abusing their "unlimited check" accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
