I am thinking about getting it so I can run a check on a 05 5AT sedan I might buy:
VIN: JNKCV51E35M215120

I just wish it weren't $30, the dealer only gave me an AutoCheck, and I hear this particular dealer has a history of selling accident cars.

PM me your response please.
Thanks!

 

Not the smartest thing to do - posting your vin. Your supposed to PM it to the person w/ the subscription.......

 

if you know that dealer has a history then why buy there?

 

Checks out okay to me. No recorded accidents and it's a 1 owner. The dealer purchased the car at an auction

 

If it checks out on carfax, I can't find anything wrong with it, and it is the best deal in 300-500 miles than what else do I have to worry about?

Maybe that dealer has sold questionable cars in the past (at least according to a few people on this forum). But I bet the majority of their cars are legit.

I didn't know VIN posting was naughty, can someone steal my future cars identity now?

I could be over-looking something so I do appreciate any advice.

 

I don't think posting your VIN is particularly bad because anybody can look through your windshield and see your VIN anyway. It's sort of like people blurring out their license plate in online photos, yet thousands of people see it every day while you're driving around.

As for the car, get a reputable mechanic to do a full inspection and if that checks out and you're happy during the test drive, get the car.
