Anybody able to run a Carfax?

[Ron Vogel]

Someone I work with bought a used 91 Century with 51K, I took a look at it and spotted the salvage motor in it right away. I have her vin if anybody can run a carfax on it. She's worried now that something is really wrong with it.

Does it look like a 50K mile car? Post up the vin. I will see what I can do.

For the most part, but it is after all a '91. Has a decent amount of rust.
VIN # 3G4AH54N9MS624101

The car reportedly had 127K in 2001, so obviously the miles are off. I forwarded the report to your work email.

Thanks, I'll let her know!

someones going to get screwwed and I hope its the person that sold her the car

Well, something is fishy with it. The girl is very nice, and very easy to take advantage of. Probably was in this case, but also looks like in the carfax that the 127k may have been reported wrong, because someone would have put a shit ton of milage in a short time for that to be correct. The undercarriage of the car looks extremey clean, so I can believe the 51K mile claim. The salvage motor in there says otherwise though.

That could be the case, but that was the last reported reading. Its not like there are lower mile readings after that. If that was the case, the milage would be flagged on the carfax. What miles does the title say? When carfax finds out about this new owner and the car is titled with less than 127K then the report will say not actual miles. Did she buy the car from a old dude/lady?

"GUARANTEED - None of these major title problems were reported by a state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If you find that any of these title problems were reported by a DMV and not included in this report, CARFAX will buy this vehicle back."
