Even if you can't do the carfax thing, which I totally understand, I would still value and welcome your opinions about the car for sale.

first appeared in Voorhees, NJ on april the 28th of 1989. It has had 6 different owners and traveled with each owner...texas,florida,texas,connecticut,wisconsin, florida
Also has the buyback guarantee which is good... pretty much if you buy the car and something has happened to it then carfax will buyback the exact amount you paid for it.
Looks all good from here let me know if you need to know anything else but I think that's about it!

Heck, call the FL DMV and give them the plate #. I did that it my stang before I bought here in CA, it may be different but tell them you are purchasing the car and want to know about history and title. Hope that helps.

First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
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.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
Title Issued
A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used as proof of ownership.

RE: Can anyone help me out with a carfax?
302RideOrDie, I really appreciate that, thank you very much.
No, they will only pay you a certain amount (around $5000) if the carfax report never indicated a wreak or flood damage or something like that. They are not going to buy the car back if there are mechanical problems.
I am curious about the mileage though because he states the car now has 91,000 miles, but the car had 86,000 miles all the way back in 1999. So the car has only been driven 5,000 miles in 7 years. Humm, decisions, decisions......

Accident
CARFAX receives information on accidents in most states when an official police report is filed. Not all accidents are reported to the Police. 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.
According to the National Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2003 edition, 12% of the 243 million registered vehicles in the U.S. were involved in an accident in 2002. Over 90% of these were considered minor or moderate.
CARFAX depends on public and private sources for its accident data. Each one of these sources has different processing times. CARFAX can only report what is in our database on 11.Jun.2006 12:42:55. New data will result in a change to this report.
Missouri Police Reports:
Do not include an assessment of damage severity
Are required if the estimated damage exceeds $500
Are released to CARFAX approximately 1 month after the accident date
Exceeds Mechanical Limits
A vehicle with a 5-digit odometer cannot accurately track mileage after 99,999 miles because the odometer rolls over. This title is the result of a seller certifying under the Truth-in-Mileage Act, that the odometer reading EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS of the odometer.
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.
Ownership History
CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
