Carfax account?

[tonyride]

Anyone have a Carfax account I can bum off of? I might be making a huge mistake in looking at a vehicle I might want to buy but what the heck.

uhh.. yes 😉

well, what do you mean by bum? I can run a report for $20 since I bought a 3'er package

I thought they have a shelf life. If it still works I'll let you know if the vehicle I'm considering is worthy of that.

I will once I get to check out the vehicle in person and passes my personal inspection. This is a totally frivolous and unnecessary purchase. We'll end up with twice as many vehicles as we have drivers in the family.

sounds like a good problem!

I've been accused of having many 1st world problems. BTW, that sale is a bust. I didn't realize the vehicle was in Montana. I saw the ad locally so I thought I was able to personally check it out. Thanks anyway.

OK, I had a 1994 Toyota Pickup (it was actually called the Pickup because that was the only pickup Toyota made before the Tacoma, T-100, and the Tundra) 4x4 Xtra cab with a 3.0L V6 engine and 5-speed manual transmission. I loved that truck and was my daily driver and winter weekend runner up to Killington, VT to our ski house. In the 14 years I had it since new I racked up nearly 300,000 miles before selling it and I've been kicking myself for selling it ever since. So I found this nearly identical truck for sale with only 104,000 miles and judging from the pictures it looked really good and they only wanted $1400. But as the saying goes, it's too good to be true for me. So that's it.

actually I sold all the carfaxes and I had to buy another set for my BaT listing! So scooped up another set of 3 made sense with all you gearheads here.

Thats funny about the pickup. I had a 2004 Nissan Titan. Didn't do that many adventures as you but been from as far as VT and OH for outdoor activities. Much boring drive than a manual pickup. Then a tree fell on it (BUT IT SURVIVED) and I didn't have full coverage. It was a little beat and I couldn't look at it anymore but loved the utility and simple roomy interior. I sold it because it was getting sorts of problems that were fixable but I didn't want to put money into a truck with rusting panels.

Then this summer I found a need for a truck again! I looked at f150s etc but then I came across this gem on FB. 2004 Nissan Titan. garage kept. 90% like new. 38k miles! No brainer. Pretty much a clone of my previous but not silver and tan interior. This one is better grey and dark interior. I addressed the weird issues I know of right away and added hitch.
