For that price his wife better be mounted in the floor board smiling like a doughnut [Image: redface.gif] , if you know what I mean!

Anyone have a carfax account? He lists the VIN number (1FABP64T4JH224702). I was just curious to see some info on it.

Maybe we need to get a picture and post it on the NATO homepage-or at least in the showroom.

Man, that was pretty extensive. I didn't realize that it gave that much info. How accurate are they and what data sources do they use?

i hardly have much confidence in a CarFax report. i've seen too many cars that clearly were involved in an accident (not just a minor fender bender) and the VIN showed to be "clean" on a CarFax report. i've also seen some flood damaged vehicles with a clean bill too.

It doesn't always tell everything. That's my experience with it. Yes, it does sometimes tell the real story (salvage car from flood, accident, or theft) but not always. Not if it wasn't "reported".

I got an e-mail reply at 4:30 today. I had asked if the $30,000 was a mistake.

His reply was:

"I'm afraid not. But from the negative responses I've been getting Im willing
to to drop down to 15k."

That was nice of him since he had lowered the price to $10,000 earlier today!

I am afraid he will still have it for awhile at $10000. Too bad. The guy is in the same metro area as I am. I had been wanting another TC, but just a rolling parts car. If he gets down to $1000 I might talk to him!

You're right about that! A few years ago my son bought an SC. You could tell it was a theft recovery but Carfax had nothing on it except for the first sale and a few smog checks. I found out that in order for info to get on Carfax, someone has to offer the info.
