finding info on car..

I dunno if anyone has time left on carfax that they can look up a VIN for me (forgot to get it) but This Subaru has been sitting by a dock for over 4 months now.. long enough for me to start asking the people working at the place who's it is and what they want to do with it..

I don't know if it's able to start or not but it needs minor work like rear tail lights are cracked (JDM replace) and the front fog light has been shattered and front bumper has a small 1 inch round hole with the foam poking thu.

I sat inside and it has 153,096 miles on it and it's a 5MT

as soon as I can figure out how to get the pictures off my phone I will post them. the Reg on the car is good up until May 09 doors were unlocked....


A dead Subaru is not a happy Subaru :(

crap they came out 320x240 but you get the point..

Its either a 97 or 98 Legacy Outback. It has a non turbo 2.5L with a 4.111 transmission and rear diff. Id say its worth about $3k-$4k. Id say offer them $1k for it and if they say no tell them you wont go more than $2k because it needs a lot of work and probably needs a good tune up which will cost a lot of money. Actually tell them that after asking for $1k and if they still don't bite then tell the $2k and nothing more cause it ain't worth more than that.

*sniff sniff* I smell a JDM conversion approaching.

Vehicle History Glossary

* Accident Indicator
CARFAX receives information about accidents in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Various events in a vehicle's history can indicate an accident, such as: salvage auction, fire damage, police-reported accident, crash test vehicle, damage disclosure, collision repair facility and automotive recycler records. Not every accident is reported and not all reported accidents are provided to CARFAX. Details about the accident (e.g. severity, impact location, airbag deployment) vary depending on the source of the accident indicator. CARFAX recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection from your dealer or an independent mechanic.
o According to the National Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2007 edition, 7% of the 245 million registered vehicles in the U.S. were involved in an accident in 2005. Over 75% of these were considered minor or moderate.
o CARFAX depends on many sources for its accident data. Each one of these sources has different processing times. CARFAX can only report what is in our database on 27.Jul.2008 10:46:34. New data will result in a change to this report.

North Carolina Police Reports:

+ Provide an estimate of the extent of damage in its accident reports for the following:
# SEVERE: The vehicle cannot be driven from the accident scene due to severe damage or an injury. This level of damage often results in a Salvage or Junk title.
# MODERATE: The accident damage affects the operation of the vehicle and/or its parts. Examples include broken windows, trunk lids, doors, bumpers and tires.
# MINOR: The accident damage does not affect the operation of the vehicle. Examples include dented bumpers, fenders, grills and body panels. This level of accident should not compromise vehicle safety.
# NO DAMAGE: The vehicle was not damaged.
+ Are required if the estimated damage exceeds $1000
+ Are released annually to CARFAX in August

* First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
* Manufacturer Recall
Automobile manufacturers issue recall notices to inform owners of car defects that have come to the manufacturer's attention. Recalls also suggest improvements that can be made to improve the safety of a particular vehicle. Most manufacturer recalls can be repaired at no cost to you.
* 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, Pennsylvania 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.

Thanks for the carfax info! very helpful in knowing where the car has been as far as states and length of ownership.

I just PM'd Grafton for a VIN check on a similar deal I'm working.

Dude you rock.
The only way it could be better is with a PDF of the web report. :lol:

Get Primo PDF. It's a free software that creates a virtual printer in your Printers and Faxes on your PC and when it prints it creates a PDF file of your printout

Help me! JF1GD67592G519538 :-(

Could you PM me?

sorry to nit pick but maybe the requests could be done via PM or another thread?

Why?
You got your info, what does it matter?

because its hs thread looking for info on his car, not the sommunity vin check

Like I said I'm not trying to be rude or anything but for those that get email alerts.. and the alerts are pushed to your phone only to find it's just another VIN posting.. I don't have a problem with that but just not in my thread please :)

I have another question.. I spoke with J.McDonald Knives online and what do you think the car just a little bit under 1/2 a tank of gas.. still good enough for it to run?

So change your alert settings then.

You have all the specific information on your car that anyone here can give you. Without seeing the car in person, no-one else can give you anymore specific information, other than the standard "what to look for when buying a used car" stuff.

Also - this isn't YOUR thread. This is in general discussion.
