Hi, I am in process of buying a 2005 Scion TC from a private seller. When I ran the vin through carfax and autocheck, everything was clear except I noticed a couple of things missing. Normally any other cars show the manufacturer, body style, where or when it was built, etc info but this vehicle only shows that the make is Scion. And the very first part of record says that it was registered at 13,996 miles in 2006. Now I asked the seller about it and he said he bought the car from carmax in 2006 with 13,996 miles on it. But how come neither carfax nor autocheck show any history before that? Has anyone had similar experience or know if this sounds fishy? Thank you for your time

Well, maybe not so weird but a little unusual. I have a 2004 A4 listed in AutoTrader...a 19 year old from OC came to see it (seems like a real, good, trustworthy kid). Loves car, however the problem is that he totaled his old A4 and has about 8K in aftermarket parts on old car (which is sitting, wrecked, in his driveway)...insurance won't pay him until he turns over old car, but he needs my car to swap out parts. for example, he has a short shifter. he wants to swap out mine for his, so that when the insurance company picks it up, the car won't be missing any parts. So, basically, I have to give him the car which he'll then take to his aftermarket shop...they swap out parts, then gets check from farmers insurance and gives me check. How, if possible, do i protect myself? A letter or agreement signed by both of us? A decent deposit? BTW, I'm not dying to get rid of the car...but he's the first offer i've gotten in 7 months! Thanks in advance. |
