Cellar snowball fight - Page 3

do you think the salesman has any idea how good condition the car is in?

xoxoxoBruce · 12-12-2009, 09:34 PM

Of course not, he couldn't possibly appreciate how well Ol' Bess has served our extended family. He'll just be all pissy about the missing fender, and the smell from that fish we forgot was in the trunk... for the summer.

spellcheck wants to change pissy, to pussy.
Good program, who's a good progam, yes, yes, you're a gooood program.

Carfax has pretty much took the guesswork out of it I hear.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-13-2009, 09:52 PM

Carfax only tells you if it's been repaired by an insurance company.

And, rumor has it, you can save up to 50% with Geico.

or if there's been a police report...or if was a rental car, or has had 5 owners....

but it won't tell you if it has gremlins in the dashboard, or a chronic water leak...

How does the police report work,...computer uses the license plate number on the report to trace the VIN, and enter both the police report & VIN in the state database, for Carfax to pluck?

Surely, a combination of practice, training, and natural selection. Any would-be car salesman who doesn't look that way will soon find themself starving and get a job doing somethign meaner, like debt collection.

no idea. i just see police report filed on such and such a date.....and a blurb....vehicle involved in collision with a pedestrian, other vehicle, etc.

I imagine carfax has some kind of access to some huge police report database somewhere. probably by VIN, not plate #.

We started with this, and are now discussing Carfax?!! WTF?

In fact, I take back my post title. This isn't thread drift. This is thread complete derailment, in flames, with hundreds of screaming passengers.

Hey, Carfax doesn't apply to trains.

I'm sure there are records that can inform you as to the history of an engine, but you'd have to contact the manufacturer.

You might want to start here.

capnhowdy · 12-14-2009, 06:41 AM

Carfax prolly tells you if your car has ever been hit with a snowball on 9/11.

classicman · 12-14-2009, 09:01 AM

Sounds like a snowball fight is a-brewin here . . .
