As 60 Minutes (or another news show) just did a segment on used car fraud. Totaled cars being rebuilt and sold as "used". Saw some of it and then before commerical they said "coming up" something about CarFax but I didn't see it. Didn't sound good though. "Buyer beware" kind of title to that segment. SO it may not be the sure fire check they would have us believe.

Note: I also did not see the entire show. I noted the following from what I saw of it.

The point the news show made about CarFax was that CarFax doesn't have access to all the records in all the states. A clean report from CarFax means clean as far as CarFax could determine. Also, some used car dealers display graphics about providing CarFax histories while knowing the above.

thanks alot! here it is JM1NA3536ROSO4833 the O's in ROSO may be Zero's, i can't tell its a 94 convertible 5speed 4cylinder if that helps at all.

Use more than one source. While shopping for the "91 turbo I finally purchased, I found a '96 w/80K at a good price. Carfax gave it a clean record. Autocheck, OTOH, revealed an "airbag deployed" accident where the car had been run into an embankment. It's a tad more expensive, but when you're right down to the wire in making the purchase, use both! It was sure worth it in my case, and I've been totally happy with my purchase (both services showed clean records) since then.

They are. And the S should be a 5.
