There are no requirements for VIN numbers. Most modern vehicle VIN numbers are 17 characters long, some vintage and older vehicles have less characters. Vehicles with less than 17 character VIN numbers are not found in Carfax and/or Autocheck databases. Pre-1981 VIN numbers were 11-17 Characters long
There shouldn’t be 2 versions of a carfax. If the dealer shows and provides a carfax, the information shouldn’t change based on who is pulling the report. Also, the dealership is a carfax reporting partner and the service visit in July omits the transmission replacement entirely on both reports, showing only the following:
That dealer closed down their business last year. We are now under a different dealer that uses autocheck instead of carfax. My dad and I have concerns about using autocheck. However, independently purchasing carfax is far too expensive for our limited volume. Seeking some feedback on how small dealers access carfax without breaking the bank.
Carfax spends their money having dealership and repair facilities doing their data entry - all it does is devalue your own inventory. SO, for only $1000-2000 a month, you can do their data entry in your service department AND devalue the cars that DON'T have the same oil change info entered.
Vehicle values are based on clean when you're looking at KBB and NADA values raw. So let's say for instance with your two accidents let's just say they show as minor/moderate, KBB (if that's what the dealer uses, a lot of dealers use NADA) value is $10,000, as a dealer I'm probably going to give a $1500-2000 hit because two carfax accidents show (because I have to sell it at a discount to the ...
Then it hit me! I went to the Carfax and learned that they have an estimated value listed. I was relieved to find that the dealer sold the vehicle for slightly less than 7% of Carfax’s estimated value. Obviously, my presumption is that the dealer sold the vehicle based Carfax’s estimated value (which was based on 73K+ extra miles). Is this ...
A dealer unlimited CarFax account is $600 a month. I had a group of people I was sharing one with, but they just transitioned out of the business and no longer need it. Any dealers out there or individuals in splitting the cost of one on a monthly basis?
Most "odometers discrepancies" that appear on a Carfax are just typos, and are easily corrected with a request to do so. The Carfax "guarantee" only protects you from a branded title, not the vehicle history report itself. I can run a title check without Carfax. The data in a Carfax report is not only public data, but voluntary.
Carfax has a used car search section, if the car shows up there you'll get access to the free carfax, it's a decent way to get the window sticker too. Reply reply Miserable_Pickle_404
The carfax said the vehicle was deemed a total loss by an insurance company and it had a salvage title, none of which the dealer disclosed to me. As a first-time car buyer, this made me mad. The carfax also priced the car's value at $5,000, and the dealer was selling it for $7,000.
