 NO NO NO, many, not most, dealers have a carfax account, but 
very few have an unlimited account.  They usually have to pay per 
report they run on a monthly basis.  Most of them will run a 
report on their better units just to have on  hand.

 Most dealers  have a carfax account now days and will run it for 
you.  Carfax and autocheck have prices themselves out of business 
for me.

Re: [MBZ] CarFax anyone?

2010-10-06 Thread R A Bennell
For what it is worth, I suspect the average used car dealer knows little more 
about the cars on the lot than you
do. They buy them at auction and put them on the lot for sale. I don't think 
most will do much to the vehicle apart
from cleaning until a deal is made. I have bought 2 used F150's from the same 
lot and in both cases, I had them
looked at by my mechanic and then told them what I wanted repaired. They did 
not argue in either case. Just did the
work and sold me the trucks. I might have driven a bit harder bargain if I did 
not ask for as much to be done but
in both cases, I have not been unhappy with the results.

Cool.  Air suspension?  On all four corners like a Lincoln, or just in

Re: [MBZ] Carfax, Anyone?

2008-07-27 Thread LWB250
The "LX Sport" is the top end trim and accessory package.  It's dechromed but 
has all the goodies like air suspension, factory alloy wheels, leather, 
automatic climate control, premium sound system, etc.  It's as close to the P71 
(police interceptor) you can get without actually buying one.

As for the mileage issue with the title, we knew about this as it was part of a 
lien action the dealer took against the previous owner.  The mileage is actual.

What in God's name is a Crown Victoria "Sport"?  I know there is, or
used to be, a way to get most of the specs of the police version by
ordering individual options, like the upgraded trans cooler, stiffer
suspension, etc., but "Sport"?

NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE TITLE ISSUED

CARFAX Advisor™
A NAM title is issued when the owner discloses to a DMV mileage fraud,
a broken odometer or that the actual mileage of this vehicle is
unknown.

Mileage reported after this reading is potentially unreliable.

Smartass.

Just checking for the fun of it.

No more greasy puffy shirt detailing stuff.  The Mercedes Martha Stewart has 
started in on it.  It got a complete Mobil 1 treatment along with new filters 
on Saturday along with addressing a couple of outstanding TSBs that needed 
attention.

Today it got Leatherique'ed and Prestine Cleaned along with a good wash.

Tomorrow the carpets get cleaned and it gets the clay bar treatment before a 
coat (or two) of 3M Show Car Wax.

Later in the week the crappy clamp style battery terminals will get replaced 
with crimp/solder types.

Wednesday the factory premium audio head unit arrives, ready to be installed in 
the dash with the PIE iPod2 interface.  I may also have a factory subwoofer 
from a Grand Marquis ready to go by then, too.

Next weekend it will get an ATF drain and refill with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and 
a new filter.  Maybe Mobil 1 diff oil, too. 

I'm sure I'm missing something, but it's a start.

It's a Canadian Crown Vic with greasy detailer crap (and a modular 4.6L V8)
