so I feel a little bit better today, kind of. So today my jeep pist me off on my way to school today so I decided to go and check the one car out.

 

I get there car looks awesome, everything is pretty clean, no dents scratches or anything. Start it up, everything sounds ok except for this one possible noise which sounded like a vibration but I dunno, would of had them check it out if I were to buy it. So anyway I ask for a carfax they print it out and bring it to me.

 

So I start reading, its a one owner from a lease from Maryland. It was driven an avg of 17k a year. Ohhhhhh whats that, its been in an accident. So I flip to that part. It was hit in the front and front left and they classified it as disabled. Carfax says disabled means it has to be towed away.

 

I turn to the guy, yeah no interested, have a nice day

 

So I feel a little better about not missing out on this one. I should of known something was up when it was parked behind another car (its a small dealer) and there were cobwebs on two of the wheels going from wheel to fender haha

 

So I got another one to look at in Summit, NJ. Same year, 10k more miles and without a sunroof, same color etc, and same price. So I'll have to go check that one out soon.

Well, you should have just asked them to take an addition 2k off the sticker since it's a wreck.

they have it listed at 14,8 and supposedly according to the autotrader ad its already be reduced. I wouldn't offer more than like 12k now knowing this knowledge.

Carfax is a guide..... not gospel.

Just be careful, you could easily rule out a car for purchase, that actually is a nice piece....

 

Matt.......... if you want me to meet with you to look at a car, let me know.....

Troy I will definitely keep that in mind. I have another one to look at thats exactly the same just 10k more miles, but this one is vw certified, so it automatically comes with a 2yr/24k bumper to bumper on it so I'm kinda feeling that one more. Hopefully I can check it out monday after classes so I have a basis to go off of.

 

Weird thing is, this one I literally popped the hood and first thing I did was look at how the fenders met the body to see if it had been in an accident, and if it wasn't for the carfax I would of never known. so to the naked eye, the body shop did a good job.
