Do Not Buy Any Used Vehicle Without Checking Out The Vin ! by brauneyes: 4:49pm On Feb 12, 2008
As many of the bloggers might have noticed, there are people here, myself included who check VIN for free on this site.
We do this at our own cost, trying to help our people from buying Junk, flood or salvage titled vehicles.
We subscribe and pay Carfax to be able to provide this service at no cost at all to our people.
I therfore strongly encourage you all to make use of this free service.

This qualifies for a buy back from carfax, however although carfax gives it a clean bill of health, it points out that the car has been registered in a county where FEMA declared as Flood Disaster Area, remember Hurricane Katrina?

Carfax tells you what it knows, it is now left for you to decide whether to buy a vehicle with a rebuilt title or not.
Possibility, yes, certainty, NO
Re: Do Not Buy Any Used Vehicle Without Checking Out The Vin ! by debosky(m): 5:40pm On Feb 12, 2008
@ braun

thanks a lot, I have looked at the car and that is the mileage on the odometer.what exactly is your concern with the mileage? too high?

Since you confirm that to be the mileage then, good. I was only concerned if the odometer had been tampered with.
Re: Do Not Buy Any Used Vehicle Without Checking Out The Vin ! by debosky(m): 5:45pm On Feb 12, 2008
Thanks braun

do you think the mileage is good though? I was concerned it may be on the high side, but from what I can see online, it may not be. How many more km do you think I can put on the car without serious problems (based on your experience or knowledge of Hondas)
Re: Do Not Buy Any Used Vehicle Without Checking Out The Vin ! by brauneyes: 5:54pm On Feb 12, 2008
Debosky, converting 172,600KM into miles would give you approx.107,248 miles.
As this might be a very high number, there are still good looking and well maintained cars that are still running with more miles than that. Today, @ yahoo news, it is reported of a guy you put a million miles on a pickup truck, with over 300 oil changes.
Having said that, i believe it all boils down to how well and where the car is maintained.
