5.0willgo I think your email is full or something, I got a return. Let me know when it's clean or whatever and I'll resend it. Thanks.
Only I can manage to screw something up that's so simple:giggle:
My school email should be fine but I think they've been having problems with it every now and then today. It's been acting weird.
that one is fvoelk1@towson.edu
The hotmail, I just set up so that should be up and running fine.
fiveowillgo@hotmail.com
My apologies for the trouble.
thank you again!:bowdown: and i found out im the 3rd owner and that the milage on the car is actual milage:D
Cool beans. Nobody died in my car haha. Well that I'll never know I guess.
The only thing against my cars history is the odometer roll over thingy and it says the mileage may not be correct now. But that didn't happen until I got the car so it is correct.
I too am the 3rd owner of my car. No reported accidents.
Cool, thanks again Antonio.
No prob guys.
My car had that odometer error thing too. =/
Anyone else? I'll be on and off all day today. My endlink fell off this morning, :dunno: , so I'll be out and about fixing that. lol.
Well I dont have the bird anymore, but i am curious about it. I'll send ya a pm if I can find the old build sheet. Hopefully the VIN is on it.
awesome man...thanks!
Oh yes, so you wait until after I buy my own Carfax membership before posting this :(. I just bought mine on the 19th. For the record, my new Volvo and my T-Bird are both clean :D
I'll pm you soon. I know my car is crooked I want to know what exactly though
everyone should have there carfax's by now, if not let me know. thanks.
PM sent
Just curios about my tempo it has some funny paint run marks all over it.
its ony for 81 and newer cars right? what about canadian cars?
I know my sprints been in one major accident and I also wana know about my new tbird
Was anyone's mileage wrong? The report says that the last odometer reading was 182, 982 and I only have around 84000. How do I get the right odometer reading on there?
I just went to there site and did an update on my Cougar when I got it.
My Cougars Odometer was tamperd with before I got it though.
Yeah 81 and up I believe. Not sure about Canadian or not. Send me your VIN and I can check it for you.
Mine was wrong, but then again, it I had an error reported of a broken odometer or possible fraud.
My mileage is correct but they put a "beyond mechanical ability" on the car and said the mileage can not be accurately determined. This was in 2000 when the car had 168,000 miles.
It had 172,000 when I bought it in 2001.
I'm kinda glad I got rid of the bird after reading mine. Its history is kinda sketchy. I bought the car in 2004, I was the 4th owner(supposedly). There were so many little title updates and stuff, about 11 or so in total. Also the car hadnt been E-checked(emmisions test case ya didnt know) since 1998. Of course theres that odometer problem that everyone has, mine happend before I got the car(2003 according to carfax) Wonder if I should start a poll lol. None of this is still gonna keep me from getting another one tho.
should be caught up. if not you know what to do.
heh, i predicted that my old 95 Grand Am would be in the yard and sure enough it is. and that's exactly where it should of been. before i got rid of it but i hadn't even paid the darn thing off yet.
darkthunder has been in a front end collision which explains the different header panel. i assumed so anyways so that's no big deal. i would like an 85 tc header though.
My header panel had some cracks, the metal peice that the second hood latch hooked to was mangled and the bumper cover needed re-aligned on mine plus the pass. fender was replaced. I think mine was in a small fender-bender that wasnt reported. I was told the fender was replaced due to rust, but after looking at the front I was like, Yeaah:bs:
pm sent.Thankyou.
26 days left.
Everything checked out fine.No wrecks or major repairs.But,i do find a curiousity.
Shipped to dealer blah,blah,blah on 4/13/85
Titled on 7/31/95
Titled new owner(me) on 1/29/02
When i bought it,it had 94,200 miles on it.i wonder what happened between 85 and 95 til it was registered.Maybe the dealer was keeping it in a personal collection for a while?Makes a man wonder.
My own Carfax had a weird discrepancy too. I am the third owner, confirmed and everything...yet the Carfax report showed only the original delivery date, and my purchase of the car, with nothing inbetween. The second owner had a used car lot though, so that may explain a little bit. And I know he got the car from an auction when the car was just 2 years old. But I still haven't found information concerning the original owner or dealership. Which goes to prove that Carfax can definitely be fooled. It's nice to have, and can sometimes pull in useful information, but it's not any kind of guarantee whatsoever.
:iagree:
Mine reported no accidents however my passenger door, fender, front bumper, header panel, and headlights had all been replaced before I got the car. The hood is the original and shows no signs of being straightened. Either they were driving with no insurance and it wasn't reported or it was a deal where they just replaced everything themselves for cost effectiveness.
Carfax is only as good as the info it receives. When I looked up my T-Bird it shows a NVIS of March 1988 but the first recorded title was 1997. This, of course, is because the Nova Scotia DMV only began offering this information since 1997. Your own state or province's DMV may have started reporting to Carfax at any time, and it's unlikely Carfax would have any info before that.
Carfax relies on various public and private sources to get its information. If your car was wrecked at some point but not reported to the DMV it may not show up on carfax unless the insurance company involved reports it. With our older cars it's unlikely that Carfax would have any info from the early years of the car's life because nobody would have reported it. Any one of our cars couold have been wrecked, burned, flooded, etc before Carfax became mainstream - it's highly unlikely that the reporting agencies (DMV's, insurance companies, etc) would go back through the records of every vehicle ever titled or wrecked before 1997 or so and give that info to Carfax.
In other words: Carfax is good for the 90% of used car shoppers out there looking for a late model new car. For those of us stuck in the 80's it's of little use other than saying "Yes, your car did exist".
what he said.
my old 85 stang's report was clean as a whistle. even though the previous owner (my partner in crime) was in a fender bender, reported it and got an insurance claim on it to have it fixed. wadda know, nothings perfect. :)
anyone else?
PM being sent shortly, thanks!! :D
I'll send mine later, kinda curious about the 20th. ;)
pm sent, thanks :D
Thanks for the carfax.
Only thing is it says nothings been reported on it. I know for a fact that the car went off a logging road in the winter and slid down a ravine on its roof like a tobaggan and hit a tree when it was a couple years old Had the top, rear windows and front bumper replaced... oh well it is a 16 year old car afterall.
Will have to dig up the t-birds paperwork

You got a PM. I'm still afraid to get one for my Blazer. It used to be a plow truck for some company awhile ago. Its been in one wreck that I know of but who knows what else.
everyone that requested one should have theirs, if not let me know. thanks.
antonio.
pm. sent. i wonder about the stang sometimes. guess i'll find out
well the mileage is good no reports of changing. but im the 5th owner of the car and it was in an accident it 2002(we could tell it had been hit so no news) whent to an auction in 99 wefore the accident. car was sold to a person waaaaay up in New york then whent down south and on 9-11-03 it came up to jersey for 2 owners. then to me funny thing is that the car was really low miles till it whent down south. when it left newyourk in 98? only 43k then jumped to 80k or so in 2002. oh well i enjoy the car
thanks Darkthunder.

PM sent. Thanks alot.
Just got it. Thanks again.
pm sent thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks again
Kinda disappointed it didnt find more on a couple of them though.
Cant wait till I get around to stripping the t-bird for paint to see what I find now! lol is there any way to search and see exactly where a vehicle has been registered? it goes from delivered to dealer to accident in NM then registered in Alberta and finally BC.
The woman I purchased it from said she bought it from the original owners wife who said they purchased it new in the states. So it appears her story holds air.
bump.
One more PM sent.

pm sent...
cougarmonster, you have mail.
about to head to the auto show so there will be a little delay on anybody elses today.
Wow! That was fast! Carfax says I'm the third owner. Turns out my car started in Alabama, where it was involved in a front end collision.:yuck: Then it went to Tennessee, then to New York, then back to Alabama again before coming home to rest in New York.
Darkthunder,
Thanks again for the info man!
hey man, I will be sending you a pm tomm. after seeing some of the that was bent/broke on my front end when I was doing my bumper swap I would like to know the rest of this cars history. lol
Thanks, my buddy is going like knowing hes the 3rd owner.
Is it too late? i'll send a pm with a couple more if its not
Scott
Nope, can still do some more... today is the last day though.
Oh, alright. But it's probably just say it was "totalled" a year ago.
you have a pm. :D
masterblaster and cougarman have mail. :)
Thanks man! :D
Looks like my moms van was written off and sold at a salvage auction in NY in 94 :eek: I told her I didnt like it... but what you gona tell a woman :slap:
Thanks darkthunder! Looks like my car is clean! Minor accident in athens county in 2003. Car ran off the road.Started life in west virginia (dealer sticker on trunk was parkersburg w/v) and made its way to the hocking hills sometime in 97, been here almost ten years! Odometer readings are all consistant too.
When I got the car it had 211,000 miles on it. Now it has 234,000
Thanks Darkthunder! you rule!!!
Thanks here, too.
And lucky me! Here I thought it had been in an accident (based on the mangled bumper covers and broken header bracket), but it seems it was NOT hit before I got it, was NOT repaired about 1 1/2 years later from a minor truck sideswipe while I was at work, and was NOT delared a "total loss" by the insurance company last February (even though that's what it said on the paper with the cheque). I guess I'll just keep driving it for another 10 years, then sell it as "Never been in an accident!"... Should bring big bucks.
Moral of the story: Carfax (and others) only know what they've been told. :hick:
